You know I've been thinking this one is a boy too - a real tough mean one. The dude that had his tv on the cabinet was huge fireman. Don't know his name. Thinking of calling him Edsel maybe Mr. Ed for short or Eddy or something.

I'd call him Mr. Ed. - Ed. short for educational. ;)

Note with attachments gives info that this machine was bought in 1949 from the Fresno State College Home Ec Dept as a treadle.

I'll post better pictures after I clean her up.

Very pretty--doesn't look like she needs much, she looks very shiny already.

Actually I think I will put a hand crank on her. That way I will have my own machine to use at the next TOGA :D

Besides, I do have the 1891 VS2 that will be back in her cabinet as soon as I find Janice a mission style cabinet.

It's fun having a machine that does decorative stitching in a treadle. Mine is the Singer 328 that I like to use to finish off my machine bindings. I picked the 328 because I only like to use standard needles, but I really love the look of the 319 over the ugly 328.
