Have you tried unsticking the pages with steam? Hold it above the kettle, and make sure you wear an oven glove. Then peel apart very slowly. If whatever is sticking the pages together is a water-based adhesive, this should work well.

Here are a few pics of the 1891 Singer in treadle that Quiltncowgirl and I got this weekend. She took the machine (roses & cornflowers decals) and I took the cabinet/irons for my 1909 66-1 Lotus decals machine. These are the pics the people sent me, so I'll have to take a pic of the whole front, since there isn't one here. The cabinet is Honduran mahogany, and was top of the line when new. It cost $70 new, as the original receipt was still in it.

This one looks the same, but cabinet is different so I'm calling it a White. No name on the irons.
Decals not too bad.
