So Last month my husband went on his monthly trip to Nebraska and in one of the buildings he noticed something in the corner....... He called me and told me what it looked like and I got excited... he talked to the manager and he said he would get back with him but my husband came home with nothing :( He went back this last week and he talked to the guy again and found out this store used to have a alterations shop about 30 years ago and this has been sitting up in the attic since then !!!!! My husband offered him $50 , he said ok and Friday night it arrived in my driveway .... It has so much dust on it ....anyhoo here is the pics.... i will send more when I clean it up too....My poor hubby had to take it apart to fit it in the car. I did not take a picture of the table top but it is there too.

Congratulations, I got rid of my old treadle when I got my first electric machine, because of lack of space, and have bitterly regretted it ever since.
