that cloth was used as a pin cushion. UGH causes what's termed pin rash, its really ugly, but doesn't affect the machine's use.

Why a red flag? It was often done to hold pins...

Oh, o.k. I thought it might be hiding a crack or major flaw. Interesting.

Anyone know anything about this machine? It says Chicago Sewing Machine Co. on it and Peerless is across the head. It is a treadle. :shock:

Fun machines, both of you.

Charlee, where do you keep finding them? What are you going to do with this one?
