Minnesota K
I just got a Minnesota K treadle sewing machine. The serial number we believe is 16958k. Can anyone tell me what year this one is. It's in a beautifully carved oak treadle table. Both need a good cleaning but restoration seems to be minimal at this point... we haven't taken anything apart yet so we'll see.

Minnesota K's were made for Sears by Davis and Domestic in the Teens. Davis models have the serial number on the front slide plate and begin with a "D" and are followed by a 6 or 7 digit number. Sounds like you have a Domestic which also made the Franklin, Minnesota A (which Davis and White also made) and H. Love to see some pics.
