I've been on the lookout for a good price on a treadle base to make into a table with a glass top. DH knows this but somehow kept getting it into his head that an entire treadle machine would be better. Two weeks ago we were in Lancaster Cty, PA, visiting our daughter and grandkids and he came back from an antiquing prowl with a nice treadle base...and top...and 1920 Singer 66 Red Eye inside it. So, now I've got it all. The machine is in good shape but dirty and needs some cleanup, so it's out in the garage.

It's a beautiful machine and they do sew wonderfully.

You're lucky he will go to garage sales with you - my DH won't go near them, although occasionally he has gone to the Deacon's yard sale at my church. However, I've never been as lucky as you to have these great finds.

The iron bottom will be beautiful when it's finished. Great price too - I also have one.
