Odd that the subject of sewing machines came up. I’m currently repurposing the wrought iron frame of a junked Singer as wall sconces.

There's no belt on the wheel...it's an old treadle machine and still has parts in one of the drawers. I bet if I found a belt for it, it would still function. Those old machines were pretty much indestructible. The cabinet is in great condition.
Yea, my grams had one but I don't remember the box cover, she said it was from the 1920's. As kids we used to put paper on the slide plate and punch out designs.
Grandma F had one too but the machine folded in. I hadn't ever seen on like the one we have before either. Husband's grandfather picked this one up somewhere and gave it to me.

I'd love to see pics of the finished product.

You and Fireball need to draw a tree/decorations and tape them to a wall, maybe fridge.

Negatory.
Humbug!

My favourite Christmas decoration is my mistletoe belt buckle.
