    Oh, your new baby is gorgeous!! You got it for a steal. It will probably sew like a dream. The case is really pretty too. Congrats, mommy!! Are you going to name him/her? Let us know the birthdate when you find out how old it is.

    Wow, at an antique shop I would have thought they would have known what they hand and priced it accordingly. Lucky you! Beautiful machine! I have never seen a case like that before. Good luck with your searching! :D

    Very nice Aggi. I have an old treadle machine in the basement and someday when I have a proper sewing room, I will display it. It is in a beautiful oak case.

    How great is that???!!! I love it, you found the perfect piece to start your collection, although I think now you have set the bar pretty high with the condition and looks of that machine. The service man at my LQS showed me a pic on his phone just last week of a similar hand crank machine. He said it was much older than 30-40's...so I'll be interested in what you find out. This is sooo exciting!

    Very nice but I would think older not sure though mine is back in the late 1880 or early 1900 can't remember. :shock: I know it works but I don't use it, and it's in the basement that is scarry.

    I can just pick out the model number on a photo I took. Mum said she will check the number on the machine on her lunch hour and get back to me, but if I see the model number correctly it looks like the machine was made in 1907!!!!!!!!!!
