You know what - I don't know for sure! But it sure was purty. There was only one picture, of the sewing machine head and the top part of the case. It is an older treadle, missing a drawer and some pulls, but I hope I can find replacements. The lady told me on the phone that she rescued it from someone who was going to throw it out. She claimed it was from 1897 or thereabouts, but I don't know if that is accurate. Sometimes people confuse the patent dates on the machine with the date the machine was made.

I am going to pick it up today, so will get the serial #, look it up, post pictures, etc.

I called the lady within minutes of her posting the ad and promised that I will come pick it up tomorrow.
