Here are some pictures. They are asking $65.
I have duty this weekend so not able to go look at it until Monday night.
Timer for lemon bars is beeping so gotta go. I bring some into the shop in the morning

Just thought I’d share what I happened across on CL - a Singer – pheasant decal –treadle sewing machine in an art nouveau style cabinet with tons of attachments :)

It looks to be in pretty good condition if someone might be interested.

After I posted the pictures last night, I started looking closer at it. Yes it is a Davis. I found the decal at the bottom. I can't wait to start on it.
I wish I had taken pictures of this place I found. I swear the guy had 30 treadle machines. It was crazy. Some very early models. To my novice eye, it was amazing. I have to say, I never had an interest in older machines until I signed up on this board. Now it is all I can think about. Where to find that perfect machine. Now I just need to find the space to store them all. Not sure if my DH is as excited as I am :-o

I am thinking I have a National in my grasp for under $20!! And I was tearing up the PL on the NeedleBar trying to date it and verify that it was a National.
Hey that goes to show I am not an expert and I can drop the ball too!!

The machine has a light added to it, and I can't tell for sure, but it almost looks like the foot pedal has been removed. Like I said, I can't tell for sure.
Still, if it's in any kind of shape at all, it would be worth it; the cast iron base could be switched out.
