Treadle find today!
This is the treadle I bought today for $100. It is all original with manual, the decals are outstanding, and the cabinet needs a little cleaning. It only has a few nicks here and there. Nothing big though. Needs oiling but all parts move. Has a shuttle bobbin with both face places. I found it on Craigslist in Murrell's Inlet, SC and had to drive from Summerville, SC to pick it up (about 1 1/2 hrs.). I just love it and the SN lists it from 1925. I hope it was a good deal also but love it anyway!!! WooHoo ( It is dirty not pitted. It is very smooth. Just haven't had time to clean it yet...)

I love it, it's beautiful. Makes me want to cry, I have a treadle that had the sphinx decal (it WAS beautiful) and I ruined it trying to clean it. I had to strip it down to bare metal... So sad, be careful cleaning it. Do not soak the head in hot soapy water like I did to clean out the inside. The finish turned all white and wouldn't dry out.
