A few of the new machines
 

The first two were part of a group of three I got for $30. I really wanted the Davis, and the MN is nice too. The third turned out to be a 1904 Singer 27 reconditioned with the crinkle finish - for some reason, the seller thought it was a Necchi - but after seeing the machine in person I was pretty sure what it actually was. So I've got another 27 for parts . . .

Here is the Davis - this is the vertical feed model.

And the Minnesota.

I have not tried to figure out what model number this MN is - but I assume it's also made by Davis. Though it appears there is a "C" decal up near the flywheel. Does that indicate it's a model C ?

Both of these came with a shuttle and bobbin.

And one more - this one I bought off ebay for $90 including shipping. It came with one bobbin and the case. The motor was in pieces so I asked the seller not to ship it. Glad I did, based on how this was packed I figured it would have been including loose in the case. It was shipped Fed-Ex and was sitting on our doorstep upside down when we came back from the store on Saturday.

I'm going to have to set up one treadle base that I can interchange machines on, since I've somehow ended up with so many different treadle machines suddenly.

Wow..they all look great! Lucky you!

Nice! I am looking for a "mint" decal WW9 for the museum, I already have the base. Hard to find one that is both great decals AND not overpriced...

Great score!

Oh, and remember W&W's run the opposite direction of Singers

Nice bunch of machines. The Minnesota is a Model C made by Davis for Sears and uses the same shuttle and bobbin as your Vertical Feed. VF uses 15x1 needle and "C" uses Davis long.

Nice machines! :)

Great machines!

Beautiful machines, but I especially like the WW!

That's one of the nicest Minnesotas I've seen. I looked at one in IA that was in bad shape & the guy wanted $100 for it. You are lucky!

Great deals for you! I wish I had more room,... so i could fill it with more machines!!:o

Hey GreyQ - are you interested in the MN? I'm going to be heading into the Twin Cities in a few weeks, will be driving along I-90

I really don't have interest in keeping the MN, all I wanted was the Davis, but they seller wanted $30 for all three, and wanted them all gone.

If you are interested, give me a PM - and if you are looking for more, I've also got a nice Free Westinghouse and several older Singers. These are all "as found" machines that can be either fixed up or used for parts.

I've also got a very nice back clamp Red Eye that is going to need a new home (no cabinet though) but that one will go for a bit more money than they ones I need to clear out.

Great looking machines.It isn't always how they're shipped, it depends on the person delivering the package. My neighbor ordered some nice dishes and I saw how the delivery guy handled them. He ha the boxes on the wheel cart and just let them roll off. Luckily, they were insured but couldn't be replaced. Every dish was chipped or broken.
