Check out The Treadle Lady's site: http://treadlelady.com/.
She has lots of information (I recommend the little booklet that she sells. For $8.00, it's worth every penny) about these old gals. She also has some very informative videos on her You Tube channel.

Thanks so much for this link, I ordered the book and am going to watch her videos too!

I looked at the manual and it states that there was a five year warranty, but doesn't say anywhere who made the machine. No company name in the book at all. The manual is crumbling and I think it may be missing a few pages, so I copied it so that I don't have to keep touching it.
I looked in the attachment box and found that the attachments were made by the Greist mfg co.
I found some interesting links about them at the Smithsonian. There is a manual of their attachments and how to use them here:

And here is a booklet about machines they made, it says that they also made improved Singer machines-

But I still don't know if they made mine or if someone else did. I have a photo of the bobbin, could anyone tell me what kind it is so maybe I can find a few?
And also a photo of the needle in it- it is huge compared to a standard needle made today, I would also like to know what kind it is so I might find a few.

I really appreciate all your help!!
