There are many more on the list but wanted to focus on a treadle. If there is something you would like me to scout out for you I would be glad to do that.

I would be all over this on just because it is an odd ball!!!

The body style of this machine is just like the 185J and 185K but it may as well be full sized. The 185's are just a 99 in a new dress.

Then the one for $40 would be at the house now!!!

But the Minnesota was sold by Sears in the good old days. It was their brand name before Kenmore.

The Singer "Red Eye" and the model 27 would have to stay where they are, I have bought better for less!
