Here's the treadle I inherited from my grandmother who received it as a gift from her husband. She put miles of thread through this old machine in the 71 years she owned it. My avatar shows the closed cabinet.
Serial G3772703, made Elizabeth NJ, Aug 6 1914

My two vintage machines are below!
The first is my Nanna's old Bernina 530-2 Record, purchased when she lived in England. She'd learned to sew on her mother's (older) Bernina while growing up in Switzerland and this was her first machine purchased just for her sometimes around 1957-58. She sewed on it every day for almost fifty years. I was so delighted when she gave me her machine! It has several embroidery stitches.
The second is my Singer Featherweight, affectionally named Miss Anise. I bought her at an estate sale and she's the loveliest little machine ever. Cute as a button and sews a beautiful stitch.
