This Minnesota is my first project and my question to all of you is please share any information tidbits you might have on this. Th
ank you!
So many of the Minnesota sewing machines had the treddle in a enclosed cabinet taking away a lot awwof their appeal. Yours fourtunatly has a nice open treddle. With a bit of elbow grease and a bit of fixing could be a beautiful machine. They make remakes of old Sears catalogs. You might be able to locate the exact machine in one of them. Check your local book store. I at one time had a 1909 reprint catalog. It was great for identifying ages of antiques, not to mention the prices things sold for back then. Best to you, Scott
