Collection: Singer VS2 Drawing room cabinet

Singer VS2 fiddlebase with "Victorian" decal set

Serial: 8712799

Date: 1889

Purchased: Estate sale store in Bellingham $150

Most I've spent on a machine to date (although I'm currently being tempted by a Gritzner Saxonia H hand crank).  Bought it for the cabinet.  Head needs some cleaning and the two mounting pins are broken.  Haven't found replacements so at some point will probably go to a machine shop and have them made.

 

Cabinet also has a lift assist which is interesting.  Button on the front by the tall cabinet door pushes and you tug on the machine to lift.  To lower you just shove down really hard.
