ARGHHHHH!!! The ONLY thing saving this rare one side 4 drawer treadle is the asking price assigned by this "clever individual"....
I don't read this thread often so I'm not sure why I'm in it today.

BUT, this is an American BHO treadle like mine! The irons exactly match mine. The cutout on the bed and the brasses for the coffin top also match. Mine dates to 1872 . I am missing the drawer(s) that was on the left side of my machine but the remnants of that drawer are inside the irons rather than on the outside like this one for sale. Also, I don't have a drop leaf.

That was fun to see!!!

Another difference is mine cost SEVERAL hundred (over $400) less AND came with the machine, shuttle, bobbin, etc..
