Default Singer Model 115 Treadle

This is a Singer Model 115 Treadle with a mfg date of May 3, 1916. It is a rotary hook machine and I didn't have one so I purchased this machine for $40. I have a treadle Model 66 that has an oscillating hook mechanism. This machine was badly in need of some maintenance and TLC. It was very hard to turn when we first got it. But we oiled it well and put a nice coating of grease on it and now you can turn it with one finger. It turns so smoothly. It also cleaned up nicely. Now we need to get to work on the cabinet although it is in pretty good shape.
