Tell Me About This Machine
Son picked this up in a yard sale for a few dollars.
Only thing we see on it which is faded is the word MARVEL. There are no numbers or other written info.
It appears to have been a treadle machine because of the hand turn where a belt would have gone.
My mom had a machine similar to this that had the belt and sitting in her table with a treadle foot below it.
If anyone knows anything about this my son would appreciate it.

I don't know much either - I picked one up just like it today. I can try to post a picture - it failed. I'm not so good at pictures with this new format. My 'new' machine is called a Vintex - it was made for Sears. I think there is another one similar to yours and mine on the Vintage Sewing machine Shop - someone posted it today along with some info.
