A few months ago my DH and I traveled 2.5 hours to look at a Damascus Treadle. I had to confir with Billy since I had never hear of it. Long story - short: I am close to being able to post a photo soon. My DH just finished replicating the cabinet and he will soon be attaching the irons to the cabinet and then it will debut in the cafe. Can't wait, the cabinet is exqusite... but why not, it's my DH workmanship! I have to brag someplace. :D
Oh, we paid $30 for it!

Oh, I meant to post this earlier, but I found the most amazing machine on Ebay. I am not bidding on it, but thought other here would love to see it, if they have not found it already. Lots and lots of pictures to load, but worth it. It is a Wheeler and Wilson, but not like any sewing machine I have ever seen. And not a mess to be fixed either. It does look kinda dangerous to sew on. I bet there was lots of sewn fingers with a machine like this.

This is a machine that I am bringing home next week. My DD and I found it at an antique store. We went back today to get pictures of it. It is only $95 for everything!! And the drawers are full of notion and attachments. I talked to the lady who was selling it. It belonged to her niece's grandmother and the niece didn't want it. My mouth almost hit the ground.
It is a Singer Teach and Sew, # AP 627028. It purrs like a kitten too!!

I got these at an estate sale today. These two followed momma home for father's day. :-D There were six machines and I promised all of them a home but will have to get the other 4 tomorrow. The first picture is a Free and The 2nd machine is a wheeler and wilson. :D 8-) The Wheeler and Wilson is almost like the one listed above they have on ebay. But no where near the same price. This one has an oak cab. More pictures of the family tomorrow.
