Then I moved to KS last May and a few months later found this site. The addiction resurfaced! Now I have 7 or so treadles, a few others and 8 on the back covered patio awaiting their turn for a new life, three in the house looking for new homes and have not gone to a yard or estate sale in a week. And my Gammill is in the living room. But none in the bathroom!!! :lol:

This one is a very early machine......like around the 1840's

[quote=BoJanglesTommie, are machines still appearing on your doorstep? Did you get the last couple with all the roach droppings cleaned up yet?
Nancy[/quote]
Yes, still getting machines. I had a lady bring me 3 last week; one is a plastic singer with broken gears-parts machine. I didn't have the roach droppings, but some are pretty dirty. Still need to get some ready to give to local schools.

Hey Billy did you see this listing? I wish I had the money and the room, I'd make an offer.
