Its a wood one, I do not have one but I can see about finding the plans on making the correct one for you.

Thank you, I would appreciate that. I have plenty of tools to duplicate one if I know how it should look. Here is a picture of one of the treadles I got in PA.

It's got the Egyptian style decals.

The machine is all there and just needs some TLC to get her up and treadling.

Very nice Model 15 type machine! Not a Singer, though, but looks like the Taiwan's tried to copy a 15. Really nice decals. I wondered it that machine is old or a repro newer model? Billy or Miz Johnny is that one of the newer repros? It has Deluxe Sewing Machine on top?

Nancy

Definitely new-er, though I'm not sure how new. I also couldn't see where it was broken.

My DH came home so excited because he'd found a FW for a song. Turned out it was a 66, but he tried.

I believe that is an electric machine; the treadle is the foot pedal. It's a monster, and looks really cool!! It also has a knee lift.

I have an industrial treadle (Singer) in storage. It has a wax receptical on top and a knee lever to lift the presser foot as well. I would love to get my basement cleaned out enough to bring it home this summer. It probably needs a new table, but the irons and the machine are in good shape.
