Domestic treadle
I've been lucky enough to have been gifted a Domestic D fiddle based treadle vibrating shuttle treadle sewing machine. I consider lucky because it came with a velvet lined tin box with Domestic marked attachments, and an original paper manual. My problem is that while I am very familiar with my Singer 15-91's Andrew my 201-2, this is my first contact with a treadle, let alone a Domestic brand machine. I applied to Needlebar and was granted access but my password doesn't work and I'm "not authorized" to change it. (And yes I wrote an email to Alan which is still yet to be answered). So, if anyone can shed light on my machine or when it was made, or if you have one and want a digital copy of the user manual, let me know. I'll make the manual available to any member of this site for no charge. ~scott

Scott, sending you a PM about Needlebar....will see if I can help you get in!
I don't know much about the Domestic machines other than they were bought out in 1924 by White, but they were maintained as a subsidiary (according to ISMACS)
I did find this website in a search....looks like the "D" on this page was made AFTER 1910, because of the last patent date on the machine:
