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!!!

I take that you are really happy with it, I know I would be!!

Just take really good care of the machine, you have one of a very few out there.

It's funny to hear people say that they don't know if they can use a knee lever that many of these old electric machines in cabinets have.
I was raised using a knee lever and LOVE it! In fact, when I had a knee lift on Bernina, I NEVER used it because I couldn't get used to it's function. When I pushed on a knee lever I expected my machine to start sewing...not lift the presser foot! LOL

Well who ever got it had one heck of a good deal, but I am not the least bit worried about you falling off into something even better!!

Insurance?
We have been redoing our homeowners policy. My hubby collects antique toys( well toys of any kind) and we added a rider to cover the appraised value of his collection.
Do any of you carry insurance on your machines?
and how do you come up with a value?
as I don't know of anyone to appraise these.
I am going to go thru and itemize the machines I have later today, with pics and serial #'s. then I can go online and try to find similar machines and sale prices,
But if this one is so rare most likely won't find it.
any suggestions?

Ok Billy, while I have been out of the shop have you posted a tutorial or something on how sew many can sign their names to their posts?
I am seeing these signatures all over the board. It seems to have occured once you posted your exquisite new signature of Treadles for Life.
I wanna know, I wanna know. :-D
