I absolutely love this group! I used the link sent that was shared and found that my Viking is from mid to late 50's, so not as old as some you have here, but I think I will enjoy it. In the meantime, I catch myself looking at all the garage sales, etc to see if they have anything interesting. Thanks for the help!!

We have a 1948 Dodge that we are restoring and I want to do the upholstery. Will this machine do that? Also, would $250 be out of line for this machine? Have to go look at it tomorrow, if it will work for what I want to do. Thanks.

So, there are no set rules here. You can offer less and see how bad they want to sell the machine. Treadles around her are usually right around $100. Nancy |
If anyone is near pittsburgh or is looking for a white machine with the twig lettering this looks like a good deal.
No pictures but from the description. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/atq/1912224487.html |
