It had all the necessary parts though. It's serial number is K554858 from 1902. My cabinet also has some ares of raised veneer, but I'm not going to refinish it, it's not too bad and after all she is 101 years old. janequiltsslowlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14079952744650435885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-52419545056762549542013-03-02T23:20:40.408-05:002013-03-02T23:20:40.408-05:00You make me laugh!

It's made from two stacks of three drawers, side by side, with a solid wood top made to fit over them. It all looks like it came that way. Just have a good woodworker make the top.

I have bought some on ebay just to store and display folded fat quarters (in the top one if you don't put a lid on the stack), pencils and pens, rotary cutters, etc. However, you need to carefully remove the rails from the cabinet in order to stack the drawers so they will still pull out. This is a GREAT blessing--in my opinion, of course.

The cabinet can be fixed by injecting glue under raised places and clamping a board down over it until it drys. DH fixed mine that way. where the veneer is missing, new veneer can be glued in and stained. You may already know this but just in case. My brother lives in west Tx and he said he had treadle base parts he would give me, so if you want I can get them and when you or family come to see your family here,Longview, you or they can pick up. let me know because my sister is going to west Tx this weekend and can pick up. Got to save these old beauties . When I see one that hasn't been loved in a long time I want to take it home. I would have emailed you but that seems to be a prob for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320817619195447332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-60340242581214458762013-02-28T08:07:02.828-05:002013-02-28T08:07:02.828-05:00I had a hand crank crank with no base and found a ...I had a hand crank crank with no base and found a green sewing machine cabinet I loved, so I put my hand crank in the sewing machine cabinet.
