Default 1936 Treadle Singer

Woo Hoo!!! My sister sent me my mother's 1936 Singer Treadle sewing machine. She is a bit rough, needs a lot of cleaning and polishing, but I am so happy to see her again. The metal Singer base is in very good condition, and the wooden cabinet is plain and will need to be redone. That will be my husband's part of the job. He loves taking these old beauties apart and putting them back together. I've looked at the info on the board about cleaning up the vintage machines and will get all my supplies together on my next day off. Can you tell how excited I am? I feel like a kid at Christmas. There were no attachments with it when it arrived and the key has been lost in transit. I called my sis to let her know it had arrived in good order and asked about the box of attachments. She is going to look for them, but they may have been given away. I can always get more if that is the case. I don't think she knows how precious this is to me and I wish I could do something for her to show it. As soon as I get Miss Singer cleaned up I will post a picture.
