Good Day All ☺️
i just recently scored a beautiful 1893 New Williams Treadle, I can't wait to use her. I've been digging online for the shuttle and bobbins as sadly she didn't come with. I believe I need the X222. But no matter how I google I can't find anything by its serial number or by the X222. So Iam turning to you fine folks that seem to know a fair bit about these lovely machines.
Serial #D 226453.

Thank you

Finally figured out how to load pics 😊 Here she is. Hope some of the pictures have info that will help in my search

Hello and what a lovely thing you have there. Big grats on figuring how to post pics, it took me months when I first got here.

In case someone with more knowledge doesn't see this in the help section, you might make a post in the vintage section here:

And just because I'm nosy, is that New Brunswick Canada or New Jersey? Not that it really matters. Either way, here in Seattle I'm first turning East to wave to you

if you don't get any help here, re-post in Vintage machine section (third choice in list of posts in forum).

Aww thank you, it's my first antique earlier than 1920, I wasn't even looking it just was my face and had to! Lol.
I couldn't post pictures in original post, I could only in a reply, so strange, but appreciate the kind words. Technology eh! Sometimes gerrr.

I am in NB Canada. Feels like Seattle nothing but rain and more rain since Mid Oct, and no snow yet? Drove your gorgeous coast 10 yrs ago, absolutely lovely!!!
Thank you for your guidance here, have a great weekend ☺️

Welcome. Nice looking machine. I believe the New Williams were made between 1894 and 1902. A manual can be found in five parts beginning at

Thank you, they actually started the New Williams in 1884 even on the link you provided 😊
I'll absolutely take at the Manuel link you provided thank you get a leg up on info before the manual and belt I ordered the other day, super excited, seems this lovely beast can do soo much. I love how they used to make decorative conversation pieces that were also very much needed for life, and so durable. Unlike the Ikea furniture of today lol.

Sorry, about the typo. Yes it is 1884 instead of 1894. Thank you for catching that boo boo.

Totally agree about older things lasting longer than today.

Ahh no worries, I know there's been talk all over and confusion over when they closed their doors, wasn't sure if it was the same for manufacturing. But luckily both our links seem to be on par with each other.
I am on cell 99.9% of the time typing soo I'm famous for Typo's hehe
Williams was in business quite a while, I find it strange how little one can find on them and their machines 😔
