Can anyone tell me what the going rate is for a treadle. Give me some lows for bad condition and highs for good condition as I want to pay her for it. My mom doesn't think she'll take any money but I want to try. If not I will give her the wall hanging I just put binding on.
Don't know when I'll get it but I'll post pics when I do!

I bought two on auction-------one in a very good cabinet and half way good machine for $26, and the other in an ornate but rickety cabinet and old dirty machine for $23.
At the l local consignment malls, there are machines in cabinets for less than $100 all the time.
IMO! The money she might make is minuscule compared to the sentimental value of keeping it in the family.
