Help, What is it? 27, 28, 127,128 or something else?

I'm wondering if a Singer employee was trying to make some money on the side and got the decals to freshen up an old machine to make it more modern/desirable. Sure wish these old machine could talk and tell us their story. It is kind of fun to make up a story, though.
Actually, Singer was known to destroy old machine taken for trade in.
I actually learned to treadle (not much) a few years ago. It really is fun.

No problem
This is the drive wheel, the metal has been painted, you can see the chips on the bar. There is a plate behind the wheel where it mounts to the side of the cabinet.

This is the petal, it was cut from the bottom plate expertly. There are two hinges and a cross bar underneath that it pivots on.

When I use it, there is very little effort to get it spinning, I have to find the right tension on the leather so it doesn't slip. I think it's time to borrow my DH's rosin.
