I just picked up my 1919 Singer Redeye Treadle! Her decals are beautiful. There is a little wear on the bed from material running through but I don't care, I am so excited! When hubby gets home I'll get it in the house set her up and take a picture. I'm going to name her Sally Singer....lol!

Hey Lostn51 what should I use to clean her up a bit....dust on her backside......otherwise clean as a whistle and smooth as butter!

Thanks!

Thank you SulaBug! She's a little dusty on the back side but I'll take care of that and I need to put her belt on and replace a knob on one of the drawers. Not bad for $60. The lady that had it bought it from an antique store here locally, put it in the shop to make sure all was working well, got it back and never used it for 20 years. Can you believe that?.....LOL.

What a beautiful machine....and such a fantastic price. If you can get a treadle here in Western Australia, they cost the earth..Hope you have many happy hours together.
