Default Hale's Crescent - in search of information

I'm new to this forum and have high hopes of finding some information. I just picked up a Hale's Crescent treadle and would love to know more about it. I've been googling like crazy, but haven't found much about it. As best I can tell is that it was manufactured by Johnson, Flanders & Company. I can't find any other info. I'd love to find a manual and part specifications. I've attached some pictures.

Sorry, I don't know anything about old machines but there are many others on this site who do. You will also learn many amazing things from some talented quilters here. And welcome from the beautiful mountains of western NC.

I would suggest you go to victoriansweatshop.com. That's where the treadle folks hang out. They will help you.

Welcome from Texas. A model number and serial number will help those who can search this out for you. It's good to have you hear. Post often & we love pictures of your work.

I think this is a Davis. If it is it will take the Davis long needle or Boye #10 Davis badged many machines for many retailers. Some later models did take the 15X1 needle that you can get in any store.

According to Law's Encyclopedia, it was indeed made by Davis.
