That is gorgeous. I wish I could buy it. I love the design of the decals. I hate to be the ad police, but your ad will not show up when someone searches "sewing machine". "Sewing" isn't anywhere in the ad. Also, "treadles" is in the ad, but "treadle" isn't, so your ad doesn't show up if someone searches "treadle". I just searched "treadle" (titles and description) in "SF bay area" and got 75 results. I don't think they're all sewing machines, but after looking at a few of them I think yours is under-priced. I doubt there is one other treadle on CL that is in running condition, let alone serviced by an expert. I never see them where I live -- they're always "attic fresh". Plus yours is rare, to say the least! I've always wanted to live in California -- to me it's like the land of the future (I live in NY). I love northern Calif. Your ad reminds me how much I 'd like to live there 'cause then I could buy your machine, and I'd have the space to keep it.
