Ooops, my mistake, this really is my third treadle. I think this will be my last. Although I just saw a new one today... it could be hopeless for me not to just take a peek each day. :oops:

Linda, love that machine. Wish it were in my home.
Can you believe it? Remember I said I wanted a FW 221 from 1955 and a FW 221 K, also from 1955 and a Singer Queen Anne cabinet and bench, plus a white/green FW from 1964? Welllll, guess what was on e-bay tonight? ALL of them. I was so discouraged, as I am p-poor right now, so came in here before I did something I will regret like bounce teh checkbook and make DH upset.
So, I will look at all your lovely machines and dream some more.

Did you notice under the table on the left the 2 half circular things? Well, you move the left circleish thingie about a half inch or less to the left and then the table folds. It is so clever. Why on earth did manufactures not pick up on this and include something like it. You could set bricks on it and that side extention is never going to bend like so many of them do.
Oh, I better quit. As far as I can tell its serial number is 28120 or 8120 but I can't locate a serial number search for it.

There is a time and a season for everything under the sun; your time will come. And, it will come at the right time for you.
