Nancy, my machine does not have that little button for reverse. I just saw that in a manual. So I still think my Davis FV is as old as yours.
Well that explains why I felt I lost something. I thought we had figured out that both our machines are pre 1900.
I don't know when reverse started showing up on treadles? My 1939 Model 15-88 treadle does have a reverse. Then I also have a 1935 FW with reverse and a 1931 White with reverse.
Miz Johnny how old is your oldest machine with a reverse? Do any of you have a reverse on a machine prior to 1930?
