Franklin, not White OT

The treadle is not a White as I thought, but a Franklin with scarab beetle
decals. If you would like to see the cabinet and head they are in the
Machines folder at the below url.
Now, how did I make such a mistake? The cabinet isnt in great shape. I didnt
spend a lot of time opening the front door to look inside to see what the
head looked like. Its was dark in there. There were spider webs. My glasses
were dirty. In just looking at it thru the top I .... oh shoot.. I havent a
*clue* how I made this mistake.
Do I care? Not much. Its still making me smile. The real change is its
name which was to be Polly White, and now is PollyBug Franklin.

Hey, Diana, could you stand back a bit for the next picture,
maybe get some background and stash in the view? pleeeeease?!!!?

Whoa!!!!!!!!! This could be a twin to the one that I have - my
great-grandmothers (or is great-great-grandmothers??) machine. Mine is
in non-working condition as DH was trying to clean it up and broke a
"little metal thingy" and he isn't sure what it is. It also needs a new
belt...ah well....So, if I can figure out what piece he broke, or at
least where the piece goes in the machine, maybe you could take a
picture of yours for me so that I can hunt up a replacement piece??

Sure I could get pictures of the stash! Then all you nice donors can spend
time saying.. oooh.. thats the piece *I* gave her..
Polly is totally Nekkid now. Clean as a bath of Murphys Oil Soap can make
her, and flaunting her nice oak outters, and fancy smancy decals. Bold and
saucy, just like her namesake.

I could indeed. Its a rather largish machine, would it maybe more helpful
for you to go to the ismacs site and see their exploded views of Domestic
Machines (which is what Ive learned it truly is, a badged machine, made by
Domestic, for Sears and Roebuck)? Or narrow it down which area you need
pictures of?

Would you be interested in picking up a White Mission style treadle cabinet,
no machine head? Free... Pick up in WI... That might ease the envy... maybe?

Hey, even better! I think Franklin's are less common than Whites, aren't
they? A rare find for a rare bird.

Gee. I go off to quilt and all of you run amuck. PollyBug Franklin? Mercy.
What a namesake. I suppose a special gift is in order for my (?) namesake.
Would she like a flyswatter? Handpieced (i before e) of course. Polly
