New Home treadle
Can anyone give me information on this machine. Year, and what I could expect to pay for one. I don't know if it has the bobbin case or anything else about it. A friend know of its existence.

From the picture it looks like the shuttle is there, with a bit of thread left on the bobbin, but I'm not quite sure. There might be a slide plate and a few accessories in the drawers, there often are. There's a list of serial numbers on Ismacs, if you can ask the owner it will give the most accurate dating. I don't know much about the early models, but it looks close to Style A, a wild guess would be 1907 or earlier.

It doesn't look like it has enough decals left to ever be a show piece, but it would look good shiny. LIke Michey2 I was pleased to see the shuttle. In the market around me $75.00 would be tops...Your market my be far different.
I do like leaf tensions.

I have a New Home Treadle from 1882. The original manual was with it. I took the machine to an Amish friend and he got it working. I also had the Amish restored the cabinet with the coffin top. It is a beautiful working machine. It will even sew through jeans with no problem.
