This is a 1947 Singer sewing machine (AH549231) with table in working condition. It was my mother in laws and she sewed on it constantly until she recently moved out of state and left it behind.
I am not sure of the details on this table but I would love to know even a little more about it. It was purchased in Memphis Tennessee through the J. Goldsmiths retailer. I am not sure of the date of purchase but I think it is somewhere around the 1890's. I cannot find anything anywhere on the manufacturer Wait Furniture Company in Portsmouth Ohio. I do know that J. Goldsmiths was in business in Memphis from the 1870's to the 1920's when they changed their name, again. The only records I could find on the Wait Furniture Company was a real estate record from the 1870s where they sold a warehouse building to another company (were they bought out?). I am ultimately looking for the value of the item as I have no use for it but cannot bring myself to give it away without knowing more or finding a good antiques dealer who would be able to care for it.
