I think my treadle is a White - it belonged to my great-grandmother. My grandmother wanted me to have it so bad that I was the only grandchild named in the will. Everyone else came and picked the house clean (she lived out of state), but she sent that treadle home with me. My future husband took it apart, we shipped some of it home to our neighbors (UPS) and the rest we found a spot for in my little Mercury Capri! Not sure where he was able to pack it, but we did get it home and reassembled. I have never used it for sewing, but it is sitting in my dining room now - I have been tempted to give it a try from time to time. I would never part with it. I wish I had seen this one, I live about five miles from that Goodwill and I would have bid on it. I have bought two smaller machines from them - a Singer 40K and a Singer SewHandy (both tiny machines and in their original boxes). I don't buy anything that I can't pick up because they aren't real good about packing.
