:) Thanks everyone! I'm pretty aware of how spoiled I am... he treats me like pure gold! I'm on a mission now to make sure that he gets a wonderful fishing trip, and hopefully next year I'll be able to send him to Alaska! (His dream trip!)

Wow! You better keep him. We used to have a Singer treadle machine, but when I was in 7th grade, a traveling sewing machine salesman came by the house while I was at school and my Mom traded the treadle in on a new fangled sewing machine"her words".lol I was taking homemaking and she wanted me to have a new sewing machine. I almost died when I saw what she had done. She did it out of love for me but I would give just about anything to have my Grandmothers treadle machine back. Happy that you got one though.

From this moment on I'm a fan of the W&W brand of machine as they knew 'waaaay' back then to put the needle in front of the sewer and not the throat. Only God knows how many hours I've spent at an old machine and had to sit 'off kelter' so I'd be sitting in front of the needle. Anyone else do that???

I think my mom had one of those, I told her if she finds it I would like to have it, I remember always wanting to push the foot pedal. Penny

Looks exactly like the one my mother had, even the same make. I learned to sew on that old Wheeler & Wilson. I recall that she had bought it from and old family Dr's estate sale after he passed. I did a made a lot of stitches for her. It also had the same type lid. You really got a great find.
