Billy is right it has been refurbished. orginally it was a treadle machine. back when electricity was new, during the day you could use electrcity and when the electricity was turned off for the night, you could get the old oil lamp out swivel the moter out of the way and revert back to the treadle.

Beautiful machine, love the Singer but maybe that is because they were made here in Australia. I have one singer which I must research but it is hand operated.

What a treasured find. Look forward to seeing the process of her resurrection and also the family history is you are so fortunate to be able to trace that. Thank you for sharing.
