This singer treadle is from 1947 an amish family owned it and kept very good care of it
was wondering if anyone knew if the legs are original?

I have a similar cabinet, with wooden straight legs. It has a bigger wheel than most, and is my favorite cabinet to sew at. I drop different heads--201, 15-88, Necchi BU, Japanese Class 15--into the cabinet, depending on what I'm sewing and which machine likes me the best.

Dunster, I do hope you refinish your cabinet and stool. I would love to have this style because it is right up my alley so to speak. Have a chair and some very traditional furniture it would look great with. :roll:
You will enjoy it when it is done. Oh, and your machine is great, too.

The arm is broken to the Treadle wheel. I have ask that they come down on the price. Waiting to hear from them. I love this web site. I read this daily. Keep up the good work.

And your right the patent date does not really mean when it was made just when it received the patent.
So I would low ball the guy and see if he takes the offer. I have a New Home Treadle that has the wooden pitman arm that I will have to make one to fit. I might do a tutorial on the restoration of the treadle and making the pitman arm.

The pitman arm is metal, while I am a welder I can get close enough to the machine to tell just what the problem is, thanks for your input.
