Hi Charlee. I've been lurking in the back of the room and thought I'd offer a suggestion on industrial needles. I've had good luck finding oddball sizes at an industrial sewing supplier online. www.wawak.com and when I don't find something online I've called customer service. They are very helpful and their prices are very good. Maybe they could help you with the 20 x 1?

I have a Federal. It's blue and in a cabinet. It is not a 15 clone because tension on front & not on faceplate. I do know mine was made in Japan. Yours is stubbier than mine. Mine is looks taller. I'll post a pic when I get home tomorrow night.

Wow!! Expensive and bad pictures. Do like the feet shaped treadle pedal. Looks like needs a major cleaning. Can't help you as to the price except perhaps rarity and wishful thinking!

Because, like the seller says, that machine, in working order is rare...I'd love to have a Florence...

Time for you to take a road trip south. I'm cheap; so, I won't be purchasing this one. I'm only in for the free machines.
Plus, I have no more room for treadles.
