We've had this antique Singer treadle sewing machine for about 6 years now. I have no idea if it actually works. Missing the knob from one drawer, but the drawers are all easily pushed open from the back side. Free to a good home! It's heavy, but easily moved on casters. You will need to be able to move it down about 5 steps and over some uneven paving stones. It's definitely a two-person job. Melanie
