When I was in high school we all learned to sew on treadle sewing machines. In 12th grade (1961) we finally got a couple electric sewing machines. We didn't get enough for all of us to use so we had to take turns. Those new machines were Necchis. We were told they were the top of the line and "The Best". I haven't seen any since high school but remember I loved to sew on it.
