Two new "old" sewing machines

These are new to me, but my MIL has had them for years. They are getting ready to move to a smaller home, and she asked me if I'd like these. Once I saw them, I said YES!
First is a "Wards Brunswick". This one isn't terribly old, because it's electric. I would love more info on it, if anyone knows approximate age, etc.

It belonged to my husband's grandmother (MIL's mother).
The second one is better, to me--an old treadle machine, a Minnesota Model A. This one was my MIL's grandmother's, I believe. Again, if anyone can provide approx. age, etc., it would be helpful!

They are wonderful additions to my sewing room decor! Thanks for looking!

Beautiful!!
Check out Treadle Lady dot com. She has some great You Tube videos showing how to wind the long bobbins and then how to load them into the shuttle.

I highly recommend her little booklet, too, it contains lots of helpful info.
