How wonderful, enjoy!!!

Too bad about the decals but the cabinet looks to be in good shape. I have a Red Eye in that exact cabinet.

She is beautiful! I have always wanted to try a treadle maybe someday I'll get the chance.
Have fun with her. Angie |

OK, I finally found me a Treadle that works, lol...the Decals aren't too good because who ever cleaned Her up did not know what they were doing. They clear coated the machine too. I had a time cleaning off the gummed up mess they made on some of the parts but She works great. I am learning to treadle, lol.....man it has been a long time but I love it. I'm in Hog Heaven as us Arkies say, lol. I am attaching a Pic of Her. Her name is Bell Starr. Model 121, issued in 1908. I think I have this right. I just wish I could find a spoked wheel for my Red Eye now. Then I could think about putting Her back to treadle. Well here She is, if I have any info wrong here please correct me, Joy

Nice find!! I learned to sew on my grandma's treadle. Loved the sound. She put some books on the foot pedal so I could reach it!!
