Thanks
Where in California? I have bought 9 treadles now and the most I have ever paid is $90 and that was for a rare, pristine 1887 Wheeler & Wilson from Portugal. I have a beautiful Redeye I paid $65 for and an 1889 Model 28 in a Parlor cabinet I paid $65 for the rest were $50 and under. You see them advertized all the time on Craigslist for $150 and more, but they don't sell. All of my machines were advertized for $150 or more, when they didn't sell I got them much cheaper. If he really wants to sell the machine, he should start around $100. He might get that?
Good luck,
Nancy
Thanks for your reply, the sewing machine is in Upland. I just e-mailed him with your reply and I'll get back to you when I get an answer.
