    Nice looking machine - never heard of it though.

    It's lovely but too far away. Someone will enjoy it, I'm sure.

    According to the newspaper article, the owner sent me, by the way its dated 1884 (not kidding) it was a one of the kind made for Singer, the newspaper is named "Michigan Farmer", i am waiting on more info, she wasn't to forth coming in answering my questions, she said it was her fathers machine and she has a treadle and does not have room for this one, i will get it if she is in Shorewood Illinois, the company came out with a new wheel version in 1884. It's interesting to read about these machines

    That listing is from the Milwaukee, WI craigslist - so it is Shorewood, WI.
