How neat that it has the handcrank! It will be beautiful.

What a beautiful machine! She'll be even prettier when she's all cleaned up! And what a great price for her!

Very pretty and petite! A few years ago, we bought a treadle from e-bay and people were so glad to get rid of these things and considered them boat anchors. I think we only paid about $25, including shipping...LOL Obviously, this antique dealer hasn't looked at prices lately!

Any suggestions? I love it anyway----even if the store guy thought it should be used for an anchor......
