I am looking for information on this machine. I have already taken off the motor and am going to make her a HC. Thanks for any info that anyone may have. I have her in a plastic case, just until I get one made for her to sit on.

How about a picture of Miss Ida. Kathie[/quote]
Here's where I posted her pic. She's a cutie!! :-) http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-102968-1.htm[/quote] That is a nice machine. She is very clean. Did you have to clean her up or did she come that way? |
I love vintage machines also. I've got a Singer 99K, a Singer 101, and a Singer 66 treadle also. I have a non working Minnesota A – Treadle. I haven't made a quilt on any of them -- but it's on the bucket list.

I found her on my front porch just as she is. The case she was in was smashed on the bottom, she had a motor and foot pedal and her shuttle bobbin holder and about 8 bobbins. Someone knows that I like old machines, but no idea who dropped her off!!

http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...54936530fXAVEV I have a couple of this type of machine. A word of warning, the repro hand cranks will not work on this machine, and an original is hard to find. |
Then I will just have to hunt for an original hand crank. So, is this machine an Eldridge?
