DH replaced some parts on the van, and wanted to give it a good test drive - and I found a treadle on Craigslist I wanted - so away we went.
I didn't have a wood leg treadle - and now I do.
no drawer, but there is a place for attachments inside the case.
It's a bare bones cabinet - sold by Sears
And the machine that was in it - I wasn't very excited about this machine, and have not researched who made it -figure either Domestic or Davis . . . it does have a shuttle, and it's not the Singer style that the later Franklin (made by Domestic) used. It also has the belt on the outside of the flywheel, which is more Davis in style.
It has a serial number on the back side.
And since were in Sioux Falls, we headed to check out a few of the anitque malls. I had seen this cabinet also on Craigslist, but was undecided . . . seller had dropped the price $50, otherwise I would not have considered it.
In fact, after looking it and the machine over, DH and I decided to skip it. But somehow we managed to talk ourselves into buying it before we made it out of the shop. I'm going to use it for my White 670. I have htat in my trapizoid cabinet that the Singer 319 is going to be put in, so I did need a cabinet for the 670. I already have two similar to this one upstairs, so it will be a nice addition to that group.
This is the one with the rounded cover, I also have the one with the rounded drawers.
Though I was even less enthusiastic about the machine this cabinet came with.
The only bright spot - the needle plate from my Morse fotomatic is an exact fit, so at least I know what I'm looking for. It's rather wide, 3 1/4". It slips over the side screws and the back on holds it in place, but it's the front slide plate that does most of the holding. It's an easy one to have lost in transit if the machine was hauled hanging in the cabinet.
