Another VSM jumps out of a movie at me!
I'm going to mark this one as an unsolved mystery, because I'm not completely convinced that it's a Singer Model 66 Red Eye in a Cabinet Table Number 5.
The resolution on the first image is less than great, but I see blobs approximately where the red eyes would be.
However, the area on the horizontal arm where the Singer name should be is blank. I suppose the decal could have been damaged and/or removed.
The other thing that troubles me is what appears to be a protuberance on the faceplate near the top (seen in the third image).
It does look like Singer Cabinet Table 5, because you can see the embossing on the middle drawer in the first image, and the embossing on the side drawers in the second image.
Oh well.
