I am hoping someone might have heard of a Marguerite Treadle and might be able to give me some information on the model (pictures attached) and the company (Household Machine Company) that made them.

Very pretty!

Sorry, don't know anything about machine but she is sure a beauty. Love the fiddle back base on her. Keep us posted if you get her or not.TIA

Love the emblem on the coffin lid. Beautiful. I am sure that someone will be able to help.

Here's a website about a Marguerite machine

she is very pretty...

Nice machine. You might want to go on the Vintage Sewing Machines Shop thread on here and put up the picture and ask those experts if they recognize it. It was probably made by one of the major sewing machine companies and given a "brand" name for a store or other retailer.

I know nothing about it but it is a darling machine!!!

Thanks for the information. I did see that one website that mentions a Marguerite, it basically was just a blog of someone that found one but really no other info. The gentleman that has it is second generation sewing machine repair/sales and has been doing it himself since the late 40's if I remember correctly. He is a wealth of information but said he has never heard of a Marguerite before.

The one patent date I could read looked like 1874. The decal is in amazing shape for being over 100 years old.

I have a feeling this may be American sewing machine, I was also looking for the information. I saw this, maybe the closest I can get to what looks like the Marguerite here.... http://vintagesewingmachine.net/Pict...No7/index.html

Hi Diamondrose,

I just bought a Marguerite at a garage sale for $10...I completely restored it to working condition...I can't find any information on it either....She is a beauty all refinished and repainted....Will go in my wife's sewing room....

I have info for you
 

hi. I belong to a VSM group and I saw a Marguerite for sale on ebay, so I looked it up and saw this site and your post on yahoo. I asked the group about it and they said the Marguerite was a short lived badge name by Household. yours is in much better shape than the one I saw on ebay. here is some history about Household. http://ismacs.net/household/home.html a few of the major brands back then made models with other names. they also said to get Household needles for it. Household was in operation from 1873 to 1884. I hope that helps.

You might try over at the Vintage Sweatshop Forum - lots of very knowledgeable people there! It's older than any I have, so I can't help you myself. I'd like to have one, though, being that my name is Margaret!

they were made by Household. great machines.
