It needs a little work and a few parts replaced, but even so I am very excited.
It is a Singer treadle. I think it's a 66 model manufactured around 1935 in Clydebank Scotland. Can't wait to pick it up. I plan to use it for dual purpose; a sewing machine and for decoration. Here's a sneak preview. My latest find. [ATTACH=CONFIG]92958[/ATTACH] |
cool treadle, have fun with your new machine
|
My mum used to have one in a cabinet like that..I learnt to sew on it :)
|
My Grandmother had a similar one. Although it had been converted to an electric model. I have fond memories of it. I've wanted a treadle for so long - but they can be expensive, and very difficult to collect due to travelling distance, and the treadles weight.
After some recent discussions on this board, and after doing my research I was able to "realize the dream". :) It ended out being a local online purchase. Very excited. |
Wonderful, good for you!

Congratulation's on getting your first Treadle!! :thumbup: I got mine this past Christmas & I still just love to look at her!! :D Enjoy!!

She is a Beauty!

Sounds like obtaining a treadle in New Zealand is just as it is here in Western Australia, expensive and hard to find.
I am pleased you managed to find such a nice example, and in way better condition than any I have seen recently. Hope you have many happy hours with your treadle. |
Awesome! Enjoy your new toy.
|
What a beautiful machine. I just love those old treadles.
