Thanks so much Darcene for your offer to scan the manual (if one is available). I like your idea of a inner border. I will go look to see if I have any baby type material. Since I love fabric, it will surprise me if I don't - even though I don't have any babies in the family :)
Suzanne57, my Aunt told me a while back that she misses her knee lever control too. I think I'll like it once I get past the learning curve.

Okay here it is:
http://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollect.../NMAHTEX/2705/
This machine was made by the New York Singer Company which has nothing to do with the Singer Company at all. This is a prime example of the "Sewing machine Wars" that set the Patent Laws we have today.
The booklet is from around the 180 to 1890 era.

Thank you!!!!!
I can't wait to get a belt on and try it out!
I have several treadles but have not purchased any or worked with them in several years they just sit here!
my sewing center went out of business where can I order belts? I know how to put them on and make them the right size but just don't have a source anymore
you have given me back my inspiration!

Your machine is a very important machine historical wise. Not many exist today especially in that condition and with documentation to back it up like the link I gave!! Take very good care of it and Charlee can probably tell you the needles that it takes.

I'm sitting here with goosebumps!
after looking at the pamphlet
I see that I have all the attachments that originally came with the machine and I have a wooden needlecase with 10 needles!
the same auction had a Singer treadle in really bad shape totally rusted fast and the cabinet was rotted- it sold for $125!!!
I bet my hubby lifts the ban on more machines now!!!

Okay, this is what I picked up tonight that Billy found for me. Domestic Electric Rotary in cabinet. Serial #FR7514281. The cabinet has been restained on the outside and the machine is really clean, and oily. I will have to clean before I use it to sew. Also want to connect the pitman instead of the electric motor.
Nice box of attachments that are a bit rusty. Now to read the manual. :D :D :D
Thanks Billy
