I just acquired a New Royal Treadle Sewing Machine in a cabinet (pic included)It is from the Illinois Sewing Machine Company in Chicago, IL. Model number is 296160. Patent number on the slide plate is June 29, 1897. The decal has a picture of an Indian Chief with the words "New Royal Is Chief." It came with three shuttles and three bobbins. I plan to let my son refinish the cabinet.

Whatever info anyone has on this machine is greatly appreciated! I've done all the research I can, and haven't come up with much info. I would Love to find an instruction book for it, as I have no idea how to operate or thread a sewing machine with a shuttle.
