I will have to find out the age. Moosegirl
You've got a beauty there! Treadling is so much fun. Your decals aren't bad... and I don't know of any way to get them replaced. They are applied before the clear coat of the machine goes on and it would involve completely stripping the machine and repainting... if you could even find the same decals, which I doubt. So just live with them the way they are! They look pretty good for their age! :-D

You can look up the age on the Singer site, using the serial number on the machine.

Oh I'm green with envy. It looks like it's in beautiful shape and the cabinet too.

She's lovely, love her as she is! It's the wear that lets you know how much she was loved and used!

do you actually use the tredle machines or just for show. I have two of them and I do not use mine I have tried but just can't get it going.

go to singer's website and email them the model # and they'll respond the next day with the DOB, age, type and place of birth. they are so fast; I did it for four machines. You can call them also but I just did the email

Here's the link if you want to date your machine by the serial number:

You've got a beauty! :)
