I don't know about the treadle part, but it doesn't look like they molested the machine, as it looks like the lamp part is connected to the wood base that the machine is on.

I've not seen one quite like this:

Overpriced but nice. And no, it would not make a nice bar.

It's not a FW bobbin case. If it was, it might be worth $50...

Tammi's right, it's a class 66 bobbin inside. So falsely advertised, seriously overpriced and rusty. Where do I sign up?

I think it's an old 15 bobbin with a 15 bobbin case. It looks too tall and not rounded enough for a 66 bobbin to me.

Ouch! I just learned something. Thanks Tammi

I was wondering why a 66 bobbin was in a case (hadn't seen a class 15 with just a single hole like that).
That actually makes the deal even worse, since class 15 bobbins and cases are so plentiful.
