I have a 1910 15 treadle that I have had since June. I haven't replaced her belt yet but I hope I like her as much as this one. I will give her to my niece next week for an early Christmas gift.
Mo-rie I think sharing your knowledge and teaching your seventh graders about vintage machines is wonderful!!! I wonder how many collectors of vintage machines are being born in your classroom!
