What do you think?

I'd really like that and the "self sewer" that is attached to the gauge (different from the quilter guage).
Could you take a closer photo of the certificate or scan it and send it to me so I can have a copy for my research?
That is a wonderful machine and I am amazed at how well it was taken care of!! You should be very proud.

I can top that! ...I got out in the pouring, freezing rain today to go look at a machine in a treadle cabinet that was advertised on CL (I had called first to make sure the "treadle" was still available). What they were selling was an c. 1950 electric Franklin in an all wooden cabinet. (The person I spoke to on the phone was under 40. Obviously, if I'm ever again talking about a treadle I've never seen, I'll be posivitely elementary in describing what I'm looking for.)
