Holy moly!!! I've been begging for a treadle sewing machine. I wonder what the freight charges would be to Ohio. Anyone know????

Here's the head, some rust and a bit of silvering but cute.

I'm so glad you rescued that one - I think you are going to just love it.

Miriam, I think you're right.

Nice looking head alawai. So happy you have it. Just find a place to "squeeze" it in.

Alawai

Thanks Cogito, I sure will!

your machines decals is about the same condition as mine are. an other uniqueness is the colors, they used alot of green. if yours is gone or very fadded, those can be repro's using a sharpie. the ink doesn't rub off right away.

may not last a 100 years but neither did there's.
this photo " I think" is a good example of the tone of green

That machine has very pretty lines, more elegant than some Singers. The bed looks a nice shape too with those rounded corners. I think it'll grow on you :-) .

That part of the bed looks pretty much the same as mine. I noticed the greens, awesome stuff. Good to know about the repros. Might keep it the same though, just clean it up.

You're right Sabine, the lines have already started to grow on me. I'm looking forward to sewing on her eventually.
