I have a 1923 model - bought from the original owner - got the bill of sale and all the paper work - I paid $75.00 - and have put many a mile on it. Would still be using it on a regular basis but my friend donated me an electric Kenmore. So now I switch back and forth. Love the peaceful treadling.

I love treadle machines. My husband found one for me while visiting in MO. Thanks for sharing yours.

Oh, she is a beauty! You are a very lucky lady. I am sure she will run beautiful after you get her all cleaned up and you will enjoy treadling away.

She's a beauty. Hope you have many years of happy sewing memories as her namesake did. I have had 2 treddles and the one I have now needs some TLC. Have fun.
