I have never even heard of this machine, but I looked it up and this treadle is really old. I'm trying to get a picture of it, but my camera is goofing off! I can't tell if it works, but I'm wondering if I should try and restore it. I'm hoping Billy will see this and respond :) I don't even know if I can find parts for it.

I think any treadle would be worth restoring!

I learned to sew on a treadle machine in Grade 7 and loved it. Unfortunately when the school sold them my parents couldn't afford to buy one for me. I would absolutely love to get one today to use but I never see one around here that I can afford.
