Has anyone ever heard of a New England Queen treadle?
 

My DH and I saw a New England Queen treadle in a resale shop. It looks a lot like the New Home treadle we just bought. They are both bullet bobbin machines with the coffin lid top. I couldn't find a serial number on it and haven't had much luck finding anything online about it- either of them in fact. We thought about maybe getting it for parts if they were interchangeable. If anyone has any information about these machines, i would be grateful.

This link may give you some information.

I have one. My mother received it as a wedding gift in 1945 from a relative. My mother's originally had the flowers as decals but they all have worn off. You can still see the outline.

My mother made my baby clothes, school clothes up into high school clothes in the mid 1960's on this machine. I took it to a Singer store here in Austin a few years back and had the belt replaced plus cleaning, oiling, and a source for needles for it. I am in the process of making a quilt on it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]436433[/ATTACH]

The company that manufactured this brand was in Belvedere, IL. They made many, many brands and also did badge names on machines for Montgomery Ward, Sears, etc. I think it was called the International something or another.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...achine_Company This is the company that manufactured the New England Queen as one of many brand machines they made.

Thanks for the replys and info. Dh and I were looking at one as a possible parts machine because it looks a lot like the New Home Treadle we just got that has a couple of parts missing. But we decided against another machine in a cabinet and will continue to look for just the parts I need or just another parts machine. I wondered if it was made by National because the NH originally were and they look very similar.
