Default Help identify these treadle irons


Close to Standard brand, but not an exact match. The pitman is wood,
tapered axle on the great wheel, no ball bearings. Any help is appreciated.

It looks to me like an 1890s Davis treadle stand.

CD in Oklahoma gets the star (pun intended). A google search for images of DAVIS treadle sewing
machines produced several images of exactly this set of treadle irons, as distributed by Sears. Thanks
to all who took a look.
