My DH surprised me on my birthday a few years ago with a treadle Singer.
The patented dates on the throat are 1880, 1886, and 1896. The machine has really seen a lot of use. Decals on the head show a lot of wear and the veneer on the cabinet is damaged. I don't know the name of the piece, but the head is covered with a type of box cover (very ornate wood.) I would love to have it restored or at least repaired enough for me to use it. The wheels turn well and it only needs a belt and bobbin. I don't have a clue where to bring it in our area. For now it just sits in my sewing room taking up space.
