I bought my Singer treadle machine in the 60's at a flea market for $15. I use it everyday and love it. I have another machine (power), but prefer to use the treadle. I used the Singer website to find out it was a 1913. The local Singer store services them and sells belts. This wonderful machine has made baby clothes for my kids, and now clothes for my grandkids, also baby quilts and lap robes for hospice patients. It's my best friend !
