Oh I am so excited. I have been wanting a Singer treadle with 6 drawers and in working condition and I went on craig's list and put up "wanted" and I found one. I have only seen a picture of it, but the price is right and so tomorrow I will be taking a short trip to get acquinted with it. The present owner says it has 1916 on the cover plate. It does not have a belt but I know I can get one. I am so excited!!! OH BOY!!!!come on tomorrow.
