    I picked up this oak piece at the flea market the other day. i can see it being used to sell thread or small parts at an old general store. what do you think it was used for? it's about 2 ft tall by 2 ft deep by 6" wide.

      thanks ttomtucker! this piece does not have flat side where it would attach. it's a stand-alone piece. thanks Caper! it's not solved Celiene.

      The drawers have been modified to work as a parts box. check my post for a white sewing machine.
    6. ho2cultcha ho2cultcha, 8 years ago
      i've seen the drawers you are talking about ttom, but this was constructed differently. i don't see any signs of modifications, do you?

      it does look like drawers to a treadle machine to me also......

      Pic#1 on the both vertical strips of wood-each one has 4 screws.
      In pic's 3&4 strips of wood have nails-each one has 8 nails.

      Would use for a jewelry box if it was mine ;)

      ho2 - If you research antique wooden sewing machines or drawers you will find everything from coffee tables to night stands to spice boxes made with them.
