I have always wanted a treadle and now I have a chance to own one. It is a Singer made in 1926. It has been cleaned up and has a new belt. Runs great! Here's the deal. I have to trade my 1947 New Home plus $100.00 for it. The silly thing is I want this particular treadle because it was made in the same year my mom was born and she just passed away last week. Is that a silly reason to buy something...so sentimental! Is the machine worth it...that's my question! Your thoughts please! Thank you...
