Hi, Ccandtim. :-)
That's quite a slab of wood somebody mounted on those treadle irons.
I don't think the treadle irons are Singer, because Singer incorporated their company logo into the side irons fairly early, e.g.:

That "X" pattern in the middle of yours looks vaguely familiar; however, so give me some time to noodle around.
Thank you for looking into it for me
I think it looks like this link in Pinterest. Willcox and Gibbs treadly sewing machine base !~
https://www.pinterest.fr/pin/492792384197764822/
meant to read treadle iron base.
I had posted a Willcox Gibb's Base
I'll see if I can find it.
PhilDMorris, Thank you, but if you look closely at the treadle in this post, there is an image of a globe with latitude and longitude markings on it on the left hand leg (I realize it's hard to see, but if you download the image, and brighten it, it becomes apparent). :-)
yougottahavestuff, Thank you, I just saw it again today as I worked my way through posts that had treadle parts in it. :-)
Ccandtim, I just wanted you to know that I haven't given up yet. :-)
Google Lens didn't turned up a twin. :-(
I just eliminated all of the treadles/only and treadle parts CW S&T posts for which I have records. No joy.
Now I have to work my way through all of the posts with VSMs mounted in treadles, and there are hundreds of those. Yes.
Quite frankly, the only reason I haven't thrown up my hands in despair and given up, is that I feel certain that I've seen a treadle with that globe on the legs before. >8-0
Keramikos that you so much for your hard work. Thank everyone for your comments and likes. I genuinely appreciate everyone of you.
Ccandtim, I'm sorry for having taken so long, but I was pulled away by a different project.
I went through all of the CW S&T sewing machine posts that had treadles, but couldn't find a twin. :-(
It makes me a little crazy, because I feel like I've seen that globe with latitude and longitude markings on treadle legs before.
Is there any possibility that you recently bought this online? It could be that I saw the listing, and that's why it looks familiar.
Anyway, it's a beautiful design, and I'm sorry that I couldn't identify it.
You could try one of the dedicated VSM (vintage sewing machine) forums, e.g.:
