When I read your subject line I said to myself, "I bet she's in NY"....yup!!! It's hard to believe how little value vintage sewing machines have here. I have a roadside freebie treadle, too, and it's quite nice and a wonderful stitcher. I have seen listings on CL for years of treadles for hundreds of dollars......they just don't sell. I'd love to see a picture of yours.
