How rare are Pfaff treadles?
Donna, Pfaff treadles are not common here in the states. Pfaff didn't start seriously importing and selling machines here until the 1940's, so the treadles you find here were brought over by someone who loved them. The 362 was not a treadle originally? Are you sure the one being sold in the yard sale is a treadle? They are only worth what someone is willing to pay! Make an offer and see what happens! You can't go by e-bay or craigslist - any price can be asked, but whether they actually sell for that price is questionable.
