My brother called me one day and told me some friends of his were going to put an old treadle sewing machine in the dumpster and did I want it. He knows I collect vintage sewing machines. He loaded it up and put it in his garage. I went, expecting to see a piece of junk but instead it was in extremely good condition. The decals are in great condition. I think the cabinet may been refinished at some point because the finish on the wood is so nice. It even still had the leather belt on it. Brought it home, oiled it and wiped it down and it sews a beautiful straight stitch. According to the serial number it was made in 1919-1920. As they say, one man's junk is another man's treasure.
