J. Mullins treadle sewing machine?
I found a listing for a treadle sewing machine. I have not yet seen it in person but it appears to be labeled J. Mullins. I could be wrong because the picture is small and the words become blurry when you enlarge it. I have done a search for J mullins treadle sewing machine and the only thing I see is a PDF of a patent document to improve the mechanism for a treadle machine.
Has anyone every heard of this machine and have any insight into it (ie. what type of bobbin, how difficult would it be to find parts, etc.).
I plan to go see the machine tomorrow but would really appreciate any insight that anyone might have.

Davis Model M made in the Teens. Takes Davis Long bobbins which can be difficult to find but available on ebay. Looks like it's late enough to use a 15x1 (common) needle. Make sure the shuttle is present. Same machine as Minnesota Model C which there's much more information on.
