Good for you! My first treadle was a singer, though not as fancy as yours!
If you are able to, if they offer it to you, get the franklin.
I have the franklin, it is also a good machine! It's a clone of your singer, and good to have for extra parts, if you decide to use the machine.. I want one of those singers someday.
Old machines are like Potato Chips.. You can't have just one!(I have 12)

What a beautiful machine.
The decals are bright and eye catching.

Happy sewing with it.

I dunno. I have only just brought her home. I think I will live with her for a while before deciding. She was born on February 7th 1900 in Elizabeth NJ. I am so proud!!!

A nice score indeed!

Quilting on a treadle is very special, to me it brings you back to a more simple time and back to the roots of it all so to speak. But then again the only sewing machines I use are treadled so I am biased in my opinion LOL!

But like it was stated before the vintage machines like that are like potato chips, you can never have just one.
