A very close friend has this beautiful machine sitting in her entry way.
The machine was given to her Grandmother.
It was originally owned by a woman who repaired Cilvil war uniforms.
It is one of the most beautiful carved and pristine machines I have ever seen.
It's date is carved on the inside lid but did not photograph well enough to share.
I can't even imagine it's value.

| The carvings are so detailed and not a single chip to be found. |
She still own the whole instruction book although the pages are no longer together, and the original attachments in their box!
Thanks Linda for letting me share this beautiful treasure.

I have never seen such a beautiful cabinet on an old sewing machine. That is a wonderful treasure !
Very lovely!
What a beautiful machine and such history! I love antiques!!!
Would you believe, I learned to sew on a treadle machine so similar to this!!! Does that make me ancient, or what? It's gone...where, I don't have any idea, but I do know many times I wish I had it back.

What a treasure! That is beautiful! Thank you for sharing this!!
That is truly a work of art. They do not make furniture like that anymore. It is hard to find anything solid wood.
Beautiful! A masterpiece that can create fine works and has a great history. Very cool!
What a beautiful piece of furniture the sewing machine is! I never dreamed a sewing machine was ever made like that. Even the part that is the actual machine is beautiful. If you lived nearby I could ask you to paint beautiful flowers on my plain machine in it's very plain white cabinet. Heehee. Thank you for coming by my blog, otherwise I never would have seen the sewing machine which was a treat. There is still time to add it to the Your Cozy Home Party to let others see it and meet you if you would like to. Would love to have you.-Shannon
