Hello from England
 
Hi, I would just like to say hello everyone.
:)
I live in the UK and have just saved an old Jones treadle sewing machine form the dump! I am in the process of cleaning it up, and it still works but dont know how it sews yet as i havent set it up and I need a new belt.

I think it was made in 1894-5 (in Manchester in the UK.) as the serial number is quite low, 17836 and its a "medium CS" model. I am doing some research to try to find out the age of the machine.

Hi and welcome from Wisconsin. I do hope your rescued sewing machine works for you. If it stitches decent that would be such a great feeling.

Welcome from Western Washington. Glad to see another Vintage Sewing Machine collector. Yes, collector because you will find just one is not enough. Sort of like chocolates!
