So I decided to go along a small area of the ...mile long yard sale (forget the # :oops: ) and sitting right in the front of a yard I found this White Treadle sewing machine. It had started to rain, got out the guy yells at me $20 and it's yours..looked it over, needs new belt, but has accessories! Needs cleaned up yet, but it turns so smoothly!! (The cat loves it)

SWEET!
She looks a lot like the "New Florence" that I got last week...different cabinets, you can see mine in the Vintage Sewing Machine Photo thread...

They say that White did NOT make the AG Mason machines until after 1916 when White absorbed the National company, after National bought out Mason....but this makes me wonder!

What's the serial number on her?

She is very pretty. Looks very shabby chic to me. I would love her even if she never sewed another stitch.

I had a hard time reading the serial # but as close as I can tell its 1492532. There are seeveral patent #s, the last being march 11, 1890. From what I can find, somewhere between 1895 and 1899. Searching for manual right now.
