Tough to find needles even in the 1910's
Was checking out the Davis machines on CL and spotted this interesting ad with sales receipts:
http://visalia.craigslist.org/atq/4862943378.html
Note reads: " Please send sample needle back as it is a hard job to get needles to fit my machine. Respectfully"
Looks like a sales order form for Sears with inexpensive items listed. The machine uses a Davis Long needle. Machine probably dates to 00's.
Well used needles must have been pretty dear to want the sample back!

Me, too, Joe. There's no way to protect the top from damage when you've got a plant on top of it that has to have water periodically. Water and wood cabinets DO NOT MIX! So, Yeah, I echo your sentiments: "GET THAT ****** FLOWER POT OFF THE TOP OF THAT TREADLE!"
