Too funny not to share & Singer drawing room cabinet.

In my quest for knowledge I follow sewing machine websites.  Thanks for the chuckle ISMACs.
 
This is my drawing room Singer cabinet.  I bought it complete with an electric 1914 Singer 127 VS machine.  I think it is a bit of a rarity for a 1914 model to be electric, probably cost a fortune in its youth.. As I have a fabulous treadle 127, the cabinet was purchased for my 1950s Piedmont zig zag machine.
 
This cabinet is 95 years old and in great shape.

Rear view
The machine platform is spring loaded or hydraulic, which is activated by pushing a small button, then lifting the machine head up or pushing it down.
 
Right side view above and Piedmont installed below.
Please visit Colorado Lady's blog for more vintage treasures.  Cheers!

    Are you planning to make a lamp out of that machine? LOL! I bet NOT! It's a wonderful old machine and cabinet with a very modern lift idea....and the ones they make nowadays are made along the same idea....history repeated...or reinvented. Thanks for the Link. I'll be visiting it soon.

    Besides finding a great old sewing machine, the cabinet is a beautiful piece of wood work.

    That's a beautiful cabinet, though I like it a lot better with the older machine.

    Beautiful! I can see why it would be considered drawing room furniture.
