So the treadle would most likely be before they joined forces with Westinghouse, but this site can give you some history and names to search on that might be closer to what you want!

Does it look like these, or does it have a round bobbin?

Hi! I have not posted a reply on someone else's post before, and I dont want to step on anyone's toes. I'm brand new here. But in case you are still looking for info, I found this youtuber when I was researching my new old Standard Rotary. He has a series of 6 lengthy but helpful posts on his Free Rotary find.
