Good information, thanks! I WILL eventually get around to working on my treadles and need to start gathering info! This is a good tidbit to know.

Congrats on finding such a beautiful sewing machine. Word of warning though, vintage sewing machines are like chocolate, you can't have just one.

What a nice find. Thank your stars that the vintage shop didn't check ebay first. You are going to love it.

My mother had a cabinet like yours, but the machine didn't have as many decals on it. My dad bought it in the mid-40s for her, but I have no idea the age of it. When she died, I let my sister keep it. I have asked her to send me the serial number, but so far she hasn't. I would love to find a cabinet like that one. If it has a machine in it, all the better.
