Here is a new one to the family of machines! She was given to me just because! She was spotted at a sale so I got a surprise gift !! She was born 1917 in Orange Mass. and that is all I know of her.... I think I will call her Penny..... She is getting cleaned up soon.

She is a treadle, but as I am getting to know her, it appears that she may have been an original as a crank. I see on the wheel where she has a spot that could of been where the crank was and that the treadle spot could very well be an add on.. I love messing with these things!
