I have one just like it. Lovely. I clamp my antique third hand on it. It has hand loomed linen on the pin cushion and 2 hand turned spools, plus the metal is all hand forged with hearts. It must have been a bride's gift from her groom.

What an incredible machine! I hope you'll post of picture of what you've made on this lovely machine! I have yet to complete a whole project on my treadle, but it sews like a dream after I cleaned and oiled it. What larks!
