If you can't find someone that way, check a Boy Scout troop. You can contact the local chapter to see if a troop would like to take on this type of restoration project.

Very nice machine! What is the name across the front say? I first read it as hauntedhouse...eeks, too scary a name, then thought it must say Rittenhouse.

Patrick, Congrats on your machine! Looks like a fun project. Have fun treadling with it after you get it running. And post after pictures too.

Wow a lot of really nice finds and machines here since the last time I was here. I have been swamped trying to get some of the repaints out of the way and a few machines boxed and ready to go home to their owners. But the weather has been really horrible the past few days. Today it rained all day and the temp dropped from 75 to 42 in a few hours. I didnt get a lot done out in the studio but I was busy none the less.
Tomorrow is going to b e one of those get a lot done days and so will the next 3 or 4 days. Then the rain will be here again.
But I am exhausted and wanting to hit the sack in a bit. I will look through the threads in the shop and I will answer all of the questions I can.

Geeze, that machine looks great for being over 120 years old - I bet it is that old any way!
Congratulations!
Nancy
Nancy, The serial number is 10158844 and I looked it up on Singers site. It was made in 1891.
Thanks Patrick

You were not being insencitive at all. My mother suggested that I call the local high schools to see if they

Kathie, I wouldn't hesitate to have my local high school work on something . They are always looking for projects for the students to do. My DD got part of her house 's dry walling done from them and now they want to know if they can do her siding. They did an excellent job and they only charge for the supplies they needed. Their teacher was very careful about supervising them.

Also, page 742, the Deluxe machine. It is a very pretty 15 clone, but is it authentic or a reproduction - it says made in Taiwan? I am just trying to educate myself if I find one.
Also, what is the machine on page 743? Another really pretty treadle, but who made it? I thought when I first looked at it, it said Whitehouse, but I know that is not what it says.
Thank you!
Nancy
Thanks all for the kind words and encouragement. I think I am just going to get the veneer glued and put some nylon bushings in so I don't do any damage to the top. I will just continue to look for the correct parts for what I have and do it right when I can. I am just getting impatient and want to do some sewing on this machine. It will be interesting as the last time I sewed was back in middle school in 1992 on an electric machine. Will have to ask my Mother for help as she had a treadle back in the day.
I think I am also going to pick up an antique treadle grinder I found today at an antique store. Time to go green with some old machines. LOL
