The only thing I request is if anyone lets this machine follow them home :) Please post pictures and tell us about your adventure at the auction.
BTW, No, I am not trying to be an enabler for those who resue treadle machines. Just "wished I lived closer" treadle stocker. LOL

We live about 1 1/2 hours from Beaver, WV so after seeing this post we are going to try and attend the auction. Anyone know what the value of this machine would be? We will try and buy it so it will stay intact. But, if any of you out there would be interested in the machine we might sell it. Since we have a house full now! We will take lots of pictures if we can and also get the serial number and the condition. Thanks for posting the auction ad. There are a number of things that have caught my DH eye too :roll: uh-ohoooooo
think you'll have a great time at the auction :thumbup: Wished I could go but I need to finish up a couple projects prior to bringing home more treasures that will make my DH shake his head and roll his eyes :roll: LOL
Please take a lot of pictures and maybe when she's settled in her new home, we might talk you into having a house warming party for her. <Grin> - Sentence translation= "We'll live our lives veraciously through you"
She looks like a real gem.
As far as price, I am very frugal, prior to going to the auction I set a price in my mind that I am willing to part with, once there I might adjust the price depending on the condition. If the machine goes higher than my set price, I am glad someone else will have the chance to enjoy it....if it's lower then .... I get to do the happy dance.
I've never left an auction disappointed.
