Antique Dearing F treadle sewing machine
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
My wife and I were recently given an antique sewing machine that belonged to her great-grandmother. It is an antique treadle machine that has the name Dearing F on it. The chrome plate in front of the needle has the numbers 2586376 stamped on it. I assume that that is the serial numbers.
After researching on the Internet, the only information I could find was a note on your forum by one of your members who has a similar machine. I believe this machine to be in good working order except for a broken drive belt. Any help or insight into this matter by your members would be greatly appreciated
Respectfully,
Larry Breton

If you could please post some pictures of the machine we may be able to give you more information. There were many machines made by only a few manufacturers who "badged" them with different names for retailers. So, you see many names that you can't find any information on, because they may have been only a small order for one particular retailer. There are lots of these. Yours may be in that category. The serial number really has no relevance without knowing which manufacturer made the machine.

Hi Jon, Thank you for replying, I am not that great with computers but will try to get a picture to you soon. Do you have any links or leads on any sources of information that I can search myself? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Larry,
Treadle belts, oil and other supplies can be had from a variety of places. My favorite is Sew Classic
http://www.shop.sew-classic.com/
They sell most of what you'll need except hard parts and some out of print needles.

I have the same problems with the pictures. Anyone know what I click on to add a pic---I've looked and looked. Anyway, if your Dearing looks like the ones half way down the page it was made by Davis, roughly 1910. Davis stenciled in whatever name the wholesale buyer wanted on their machines. They also made about a million "Minnesota" sewing machines for Sears.
