Default Need Info. on Minnesota Treadle Sewing Machine?

Hi, I know almost nothing about old treadle sewing machines, but I learned to sew on one back in grade school 100 years ago. We didn't have those fancy electric ones back then. No kidding! We even learn to write in ink with the pen nibs... one step beyond quills!

I have a Minnesota treadle one with cabinet and bobbins, etc., but I don't even know how to thread it or anything else about it.

Do you know anything about it? Is it worth keeping or do you know who would want it? I don't plan to use it for any sewing at all, so I don't really need to know how to thread it or use it.

I'd appreciate any help!
