Approximate date of manufacture is between 1910 to 1930.
The sewing machine and cabinet are in "Fine" condition for their age. the sewing machine has most of the accessories, a new belt (that has to be cut to length and joined together. The treadle works. The only item really missing is one of the hinges for the sewing machine to drop into the cabinet.
The cabinet is solid oak with accent furniture carvings on the corners and sides of the panels (see pictures). It was made to look like both a piece of furniture and a functional appliance.
The doors on the front are locked by a key (included) and have compartments attached to them (that unfold as well). It has the typical box-drawers in the lower treadle area.
The typical green felt on the table-top of the machine, is worn. There is also a bit of water damage on the wood, that can either be rubbed out or refinished.
Even though this is not a Singer sewing machine, for the collector, it is a well-kept example of the period of manufacturing excellence. Once again, combining both functionality and solid, craftsmanship in cabinet beauty, this sewing machine is a prime example of the times. Displayed on a stage or movie set or just a "museum piece", it is well-worth the price.
