I have seen a few that looked like nobody had ever used them. One I know for sure. It was the neighbor lady's machine - she didn't like the Sears machine - she liked the old Singer 66 treadle much better.

The race cover is in the accessories and unless they are a worn out red, the stitch lengths are brown.
And I agree, plenty of machines are unused. My mother uses her machine almost never these days. It's in excellent shape too.

"Treadle sewing machine sink"

Yep. You read that right.

Bonus points would have been awarded had the treadle controlled the faucet.

I so have to try that! ;) I wonder if that would help get the debris out of the plastic covered metal skeletoned machines. Those are a nightmare to get crud out of.
