I purchased a New Royal treadle machine yesterday at an Estate sale. My 1st treadle. Where can I purcase a manual or any information on this machine. I don't even know where to find the model number. It does work but I would love to have DH give her some TLC before I start to sew with it.
Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on the age of your machine. Earlier "New Royal" machines were made by Free, though with a different design than other Free machines, and under more names than New Royal.

for later machines, "New Royal" was a badge and used by a few companies on their machines.

Older New Royal machines have a rectangular needle plate and the serial number is stamped on the base behind teh pillar. Only way to determine Model is visually.

Here is a thread for a machine that turned out to be an older style New Royal. There are some pictures and links that may be helpful to determine what you have - BTW - I've also seen later Free made machines with the badge "New Royal" on them, but they are made from the Free design, not the New Royal design,

If this is your first vintage machine it's worth going through the sticky on cleaning them and watch Muv's videos. The wrong cleaning products will destroy your decals and finish.
Congrats on your new machine.
