Go to this website and you'll be able to see pictures of your machine and the cabinet and a list so you can look up the serial number and manufacture date. I have the identical machine and cabinet. My machine is a #12 and was made in 1916 and the cabinet came out in 1917. http://community.webshots.com/user/arachnesobsession There is a wealth of info on that site. Judy |
I have the same machine and cabinet, too! She sews like a dream. And how lucky you are to have your grandma's machine! I got mine for $50 off Craig's list. My machine is from 1913.

Go here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-43881-1.htm Billy has vast knowledge of old machines and I believe he quilts using a treadle machine. Congrats on you new baby. |
I learned on a machine just like that, that was my grandmother's. No idea what happened to it after I left home though :cry:
