    Your black is prettier than my tan, but AnnieRose sews very nicely so she's a keeper.
    I have downloaded a manual from ISMACS, but just thought I might get an original to go with the machine.

    Yes, Nancy is great! She's always so quick on the ball to get an answer with additional educational info.

    There's a whole big wonderful group here with lots of knowledge who were taught that sharing is good!!

    Thanx to all of you!

    What you can't see is a 2" long deep scratch near the foot feed that is clear through the paint on one end. But then she is not all that much younger than I am and in better shape, lol.

    Thanks everyone for all your comments on Erma. The case sunned all day and hopefully tomorrow. I think I'll take her on my spring quilt retreat in NM.

    My neightbor's daughter has a teacher that took what look to be a beautiful treadel sewing machine and gutted it to make a saw for cutting glass in class. I have asked her what he intends to do with the parts and if he does not want them I told her I would take them.
    She did not know what brand of machine but her picture looks like it says Catonia. Kathie

    I am so excited, I picked up my new treadle today and it appears to be in really good shape. I need to get a belt for it, and find out how to oil it. The cabinet is in great shape in spite of having been painted.

    The manual is crumbling, but says it was made in 1904 and is model # 939115, the machine says Standart. Does anyone know who made this machine, what type of needles and bobbins it uses, and any other info.?

    Tommorrow I intend to read all the threads on cleaning and restoring these old beauties, since I am a complete newbie at this and know absolutely nothing about these vintage machines.
    Thanks in advance for any info. you can give me about my exciting new treasure!
