Treadle find today!
#14
I love it, it's beautiful. Makes me want to cry, I have a treadle that had the sphinx decal (it WAS beautiful) and I ruined it trying to clean it. I had to strip it down to bare metal... So sad, be careful cleaning it. Do not soak the head in hot soapy water like I did to clean out the inside. The finish turned all white and wouldn't dry out.
Thanks for sharing with me. I'm new at the cleaning of old machines. Am studying the threads and videos posted as how to do it...

What a great find and in such lovely condition, too! I have my grandmother's 1904 model 27 treadle and love to sew on her. It has many miles on it and the condition is far from excellent, but some of my happiest memories are sitting in my grandmother's lap as she sewed on it. I hope you enjoy your new baby!
