Found this machine frame at a sale for $2 with out wood cabinet, Husband had cut sink hole from new counter top in kitchen so had him screw the piece on top for table. I think it is cute.

I just sold my Number 1 Antique treadle sewing machine and table to a Sewing Machine Museum in Maryborough, Victoria, Australia. I got an email from them Saturday. I bought the antique sewing machine years ago from an Antique shop in Belmont and as I had two I decided to get rid of one of them. I never used it as a sewing machine, just as a table in our front room. This is the reply I got.

"Chris,
The machine is already up and running - plenty of oil has achieved that!! We just needed to tighten the belt a little. There is an art to putting new belts on - not hard, just a little tricky at times.
The fellow you bought it off no doubt tried his best, and we give him credit for that. Cheers, Judi"

Yours looks really great. Love Chris

Great deal and it looks fantastic. My girlfriend found one along the side of the road. She picked it, took it home and put a long piece of glass on top of the frame. She uses it as a sofa table in her living room. I just love it. I have been looking for one too. I hope someday I find one for a couple dollars too. Congrats, Susan
