Should get more info hopefully from her seller after he talks with his family more. She was seized up last night and wouldn't turn a bit. I oiled the heck out of her and she is turning fine this morning. Love these old machines !!!

Wow, poor machine. I am sure you will be able to clean and shine her up again. She looks almost as bad as the machine I brought home last Friday afternoon. I can't even tell what brand it is. The treadle cabinet is in bad shape - missing the top piece of wood (cover). It is a straight leg - legs made of wood instead of iron. Hope I can fix it up, but with the holidays comming it will probably get stuffed in the attic til after the first of the year. Oh, well.
