You sure hit the jackpot. I love, love, love the treadle machine. She is beautiful. You must be doing the happy dance.

Thank You for the information. Magpie also gave me a direct link to Singer, and I was able to acquire the info I wanted.

The wonderful lady no longer had the desire to sew. I offered to pay for it, but just wanted the machine to be used. I Promised I would!

What a lovely grouping of machines!! And you have some of the most desired Singers out there to boot. Be sure to use them and you will really enjoy them, in fact I am betting that you will get rid of your modern machine and start using vintage machines exclusively!

Great beginning collection. I second Billy's suggestion and say get them all cleaned and lubricated and start sewing. Each will have a special place.

That is a nice set of decals on the 66.

That is the next step. They both need to be cleaned and oil. Will be doing some research on how to restore the cabinets also. Thanks to everyone for the comments on my machines.
