Phooey. Thought there was a sub thread for just vintage photos, but can't seem to locate it any more. At guild show and tell a few months back, I showed some photos of my new vintage acquisitions. I was asked to display the machines at the quilt show, which was this weekend. Unfortunately, I had also volunteered to fill a booth at a local county fair, not realizing that the two overlapped. So I set up at both. Here are photos from the show.
Virginia welcomed everyone at the entrance table.

About the Singer 185K Hand Crank machine, I’ll see if I can answer two questions with one post here...
Yes! We used it for the short time that we had it. We had it for about 6 months before we took it to a Treadle-On TOGA in Texas and it went home with another lady to be her hand crank machine. Here’s a photo of my wife using it to piece quilt blocks in our booth at the local County Fair. I hadn’t gotten the crank re-painted yet.
All I did was make a notch in the original solid hand wheel for the crank “finger”.

Glenn, that is a lovely machine.
I need to stay off here and off Craigslist. I sent an email today about a White Rotary treadle. I haven't found a home for the Ruby yet and here I am looking at another machine.
