I scored another one today for $30, found it in someones carport over Labor Day! So this is what I did with the first one. Now I want to make a plant stand with mosaic top out of old china I think or a potting bench.

This is the latest one I got and sold the top to an antique dealer for $10, so I have $20 in it. I want to mosaic the top.

That'll be a great idea! My Mom has one in her foyer with a Cultured Marble slab on it. It's beautiful! I love them!

that is just amazing, around here people collect them like antiques and use them for entrance tables so the prices are very high none under 500 dollars and the older they are the more expensice I have my greatgrandmothers dated 1902 I refinished the top and have it in the formal livingroom as what it is suppose to be since I got the machine with it and back then the big thing was to make jeans for the men since levi was to expensive for the country folk to purchase so it will sow anything
