I have to sand blast these and repaint them, they used to be a BBQ grille stand at one time. I have gotten to where I can make a set of irons look like they were just off of the line they are so slick!
But at the time I needed to get them inside before winter so I rattle canned them black and put a top on them.

So far, it seems as if the designated "Light Running" machine title is given to the bronzy newer machine that was badged NH or Westinghouse, 15 clone.

Well, she got to thinking that the lady who had bought it had passed away, and her family might sell it back. So she got it again. Here is a pic, as is, and will post another when it gets spit-shined.

Nope! Those go in from in front and a screw tightens down on them.

I think the part number is 32559. I'm using a shirt tail hemmer for the measurement. I really am anxious to get my treadle machine going so that I can use it. This is the only vintage machine that I have so far. If anyone could tell me where I might find this foot, I would greatly appreciate it.
Good luck-- I hope you are able to treadle on your machine soon. You will absolutely love it.
I found a Graybar electric machine today at an antique store near me. The lady only wants $50 for the machine, and it looks to be in great shape. I had never heard of a Graybar so did some research today. It seems Graybar was an actual company - still is - but, they made consumer products, including sewing machines from 1926 until 1934 when they succumbed to the Depression and discontinued their own lines of consumer products. Does anyone have a Graybar? Since they were only made for a few years, I'd think they are not real common.
