The one name that I always makes me stop and look is "mom" out of habit. When the 3 kids were small, I even thought my name was "Mom"

When she opened them for me, they held their daughters' wedding presents - new, modern machines in treadles.

I was directed to this site as I searched for information for a vintage treadle machine. It's a Standard Treadle and I believe it to be a model no. 93-V. Anyone have any info? I most likely will use as a vintage piece, not for sewing at this time. It does have lots of attachments. etc in the drawers and it is in good condition.Thanks!! Kelly

Miriam, I wouldn't have paid the full asking price. I'd have made an offer if I really wanted that table. I do think it would be really cute in a sewing room full of treadles!

What is the pink machine next to the Standard? A Sewmor? Do you use that machine? We need to see a photo of that machine too!

I see your point and do agree. I agree nostalgic isn't probably the best term, but neither is reproduction. Maybe we can come up with something better.

Kenneth you are right, class 15 machines have been around a very long time, even though, if you look at Singer's records they only claimed to make their Model 15 until about 1957. I don't know what the 'duplicate' machines are called? Anyone know what Singer calls those machines? Anyway, I think we have beat this horse enough. Yes, they are easy to repair, easy to maintain, a great straight stitch machine. But, there is no denying that those reproduced machines were purposely made to resemble a machine from the past!
