So did you sell some machines, or give them away? I have a bunch too and sadly are still in their cases, cuz I have no place to display them. Except for my Davis treadle which is in my living room! I have so many and when I want to use one, I have to move one my regular one to set up a vintage to use, because I'm nostalgic. LOL!

I have 28 sewing machines that my husband is restoring. (some are already done) I have one every place I step it seems. Maybe DH will get them finished and we can put some of them up for sale. I love each one of them and will not get rid of some of them. I use my old ones and prefer them over the newer ones that I have.

can you imagine all the homes this little machine has been in, all the hours of use, back in the early 1800's seems like I read or on here someone saying, in those days if someone was lucky enough to have a machine she would share with lther ladies. If that be truth, oh my to bad this little machine cannot speak. really touches my heart thinking about it. :)

That's really true. In the 1800s, most women were still sewing by hand. I'm guessing you had to be pretty prosperous to afford a sewing machine.

I have been searching for a nice working treadle. I've always wanted one. Will you have one of those for sale?

I'd grab it quick.

Don't we wish they COULD talk.

well..did you get it??? did you clean her up and fix her???

Yes.....where is the update? That is one nice looking machine!

yes, buy it, what a cool machine for your collection
