Cleveland Treadle S/N 1269232C
I'm sorry everyone as I know this has been addressed before but I searched and searched and could not find anything. Today my neighbor called me from a garage sale and said there was a Cleveland treadle machine for sale for $10.00 and did I want it. Of course I said "yes" and now I can find nothing on this machine. It has a beautiful grape and leaf design and has "CLEVELAND" across the top of the machine and "Made in USA" on the side. The back plate is stamped with 1269232C which I think may be the serial number. I have turned the machine upside down and cannot find another number or identificaiton. I did find a lot of pumpkin seeds stored in the machine cavity! I am looking for instructions to remove the hand wheel so I can clean and remove thread that has been wound around it. I removed the two small screws but the wheel will not budge. I would appreciate any help you can give. An instruction book came with it which is really not much help - not even a manufacturer's name. Thanks.
