Billy here are the pictures. This machine is in great shape. The number is 3171412 -- I sent a picture, but hard to read with my camera -- I couldn't get a clear picture.
The bobbin winder is just kinda stuck on the back -- not sure how to work it -- it must attach to the main belt?
The tension disk is on the front on the machine towards the top. The front of the machine has decals instead of a face plate. I have no idea how to thread this machine.
The bobbin is very narrow and just slides over a little handle into the bobbin case -- the bobbin does not have a removable case.
Very interesting!

That looks like a Sphinx to me, a much better conditiion than mine.

Wow, that is so good. Though not good for me. I showed my DH and now he thinks I should only buy machines for that amount. I guess he is right, the fun part is looking and searching for that perfect deal. ;-)

Billy did you see my pictures of the 1879 treadle?

I wouldn't plan on paying only $50 for a treadle. I just lucked out. Most of the time the machines around here go for $100 to $150.
I agree with you, but my DH is a used car salesman. So to him everything is negotiable, and cheaper is always better...... :-D
