Yep....the iron legs to a sewing machine with the wheel that the belt goes on....but without the treadle.

Here is a link that might be useful: sewing machines

Thanks, Linda! I wonder what became of the rest of it.....and why they saved the legs.

It would make for neat table legs, no? You keep finding goodies there, perhaps you'll find the rest of the assembly. I suspect a good many of those old treadle frames were interchangeable. I collect them, because the machines are not that hard to find, but the bases are. And without the working mechanisms to drive the belt my machines would be non-functional.

My night stand is a treadle base with a granite top. The round part isn't with my base.

It does make a great table.

My aunt had large square board finished like furniture on couple of those & lovely hand made doily & all of her African Violets near window in filtered sun. They did great & fit in with all of her other antiques. Rust comes off with little elbow grease & paint any color you want.

Cast iron end frames for a treadle sewing machine. The treadle and connecting rod are missing as well as all the cabinetry.
