Davis Sewing machine
I was recently in an antique store where I found an old Davis treadle sewing machine for sale. It was the actual sewing machine that looked to still be on the original table. I tried it out and it seemed to work rather well. I don't know much about antique sewing machines, so I can't say how old it is or what model (I didn't think to ask the lady working at the time). They wanted $200, good buy or no?

It isn't unreasonable if it is a needle feed. You can tell real quick - no feed dogs. I have a Davis. It treadles the easiest of all else I have in working order. I understand those are real nice for putting on binding.
