My mother married in 1945 and was given a treadle as a wedding gift, a New England Queen. She made most all of my clothes on it even up into high school. I sewed on it in Jr. high, and did my home project (a dress) on it when I tool Clothing I & II in high school. Then it sat for years, and just almost two years ago my brother and I loaded in his truck to a Singer dealer here in town after I met a lady at JoAnns one night that teaches there and told me the owner works on them. He put a new belt on it, cleaned and oiled it and I am now piecing a Texas Hill Country Quilt on it that I designed myself. (One of my UFO's!)
New England Queen. It once had beautiful flowers as decals. Drawers are very pretty carved wood with brass handles and were removed when we took it to the shop.
