I have a Daisy that is dated in 1886. It is a fiddle base treadle coffin top. It is also a round bobbin, I didn't know they made round bobbins that early. The serial number is on the back side of the pillar and is upside down looking from the back. You have to look over the machine to read it. I haven't cleaned it up yet. I will post pictures when I start working on it. Serial number is 7 391 957.

What Steve said, they are really rare (and cool, IMO): It's a 15-1 and have a different bobbin mechanism (and bobbins) to the later 15s. The modern domestic needle is the same, though, as 15x1 needles were designed for that exact model

.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

There's some info at ISMACS and some here
