This is up for auction on the shopgoodwill.com site. It appears to have a treadle foot but it's tiny. It can't be a base can it? |
It is a treadle but missing alot of the treadle stand parts.... it looks like only the foot petal is remaining from the stand.

ArizonaKat,
That is a Franklin 1911 that was originally in a parlor cabinet. I was eye-balling too for the accessories and owners manual. I'd love to run that manual across my scanner and make a good copy of it. As Lori said there is a lot missing in that ensemble. Here is a photo of my Franklin when I was working on it. You can see the small treadle plate and all the other things that are missing from those on Goodwill. http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...stfinished.jpg Joe |
Too much. Unless you need the parts, it's just not worth it. Let this one slide...there's a good one around the corner for you!

I'm actually looking for a portable crank machine. I bought my White treadle in January and now I feel a great need for a crank.
Thanks for the advice. |
ArizonaKAT,
Unless you already have a hand crank for a Franklin machine, you can't just use any type of hand crank. The aftermarket hand cranks being sold now only work with Singer or the Japanese model 15. |
