1922 Singer Red Eye Treadle.  Post does not mention Howard's Restore-a-Finish, but it is what I used. The before and after pictures of the cabinet are dramatic!

  1. I just bought a singer red eye treadle in a drawing room cabinet for $125. http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/drawing_room_cabinet_no_21-22.html
    Do you have any suggestions on how to take the bottom off unit so I may replace.
