Hi
We just purchased a vintage (antique) Favorite brand treadle machine in cabinet. The only numbers we can find so far (it's really dirty) are: 716394. This is on the slide plate covering the shuttle bobbin case area.

I'd like help with the age, and any other info on this machine. It works really well, but, like I mentioned, is very dirty...sat in a barn for many years.

Thanks in advance!

Lots of folks put their IDs on the plates back then. happy you have the shuttle. Oil everything that moves. It could easily be badged but made by someone else. I love leaf tensioners.

Could be Standard. Just not much info on this particular model.

Thanks...leaning towards a Standard, mostly by color of the decals. It's a neat little 3/4 size machine. Everything works on it...which is unusual, since it's been in a barn for decades. Marge

I think it is a Standard, if the decals have anything to do with it. Going to spit shine it up and the cabinet also...Mahogany, or Cherry... Thanks for the reply.
