A piece of history! The second photo shows the insides, labelled 'wine-glasses', 'serviettes' etc, even holes for wine bottles or decanters. A low mirror on top to make glassware sparkle!

Vintage sewing machine (Higham Hill E17)
Gifted
The classic Singer sewing machine, about 100 years old, still working. An expert told me it is not worth trying to sell because of the major metal repair to the base (it was dropped by a porter in Egypt!). I used it a lot and it still works. Lots of accessories. Modern instruction booklet supplied. It comes in its original box: I use a strap for safety.
