Description

This is a treadle sewing machine with a coffin top cabinet.  The sewing machine is a new home manufactured in 1890.  The cabinet date we can't find but it looks 20th century.  It is cherry in very good condition with just a few nicks.  The metal (brass?) handles on the cabinet look art nouveau and and have a star pattern that spells out "New Home". There are two metal pegs to hold the machine to the cabinet, but one is bent and the other is missing its peg.  The metal base and legs are in excellent condition and the 'New Home" logo on the legs still has its gold frosting.

The machine is fully functional and includes the stabilizerpeg and original parts box with all parts, including four threaded bobbins.  The machine is well maintained but also well loved; the gold leaf rose emblem is worn off the bottom and the lettering on the top and sides is worn.  There appear to be no broken pieces.
