That W&G is a nice looking machine. Looks very complete too.
Here's a good deal on a twiggy White treadle:

Looks like the cabinet might need a minor repair.

That is a nice machine. Easily fixable cabinet.

Why are most of the treadles up for sale either on the east or west side of the country, and extremely rarely in IL?
That was a rhetorical question, it doesn't need an answer.

haha Joe! I asked that same question awhile back. Thanks for confirming my reality, lol. Some responded and said they are all in the Midwest but I watch all the time....I don't see them. I have an idea....all of those folks on the coasts can watch for us and we will keep an eye out for those great finds for them. Well I guess we sorta do that already as evidenced by the above posts, but I have contacted several when they are pointed out and always gone. Oh well another day...the hunt is as fun as the find!

Wish they'd show all of the case. Just curious.

Yeah, and the missing "0" from the serial number was put on the price!

I'm thinking the 1921 should be 1951.

1951 sounds much more reasonable, probably a bit newer than that looking at it.
