The singer w/sphinx decals needs a tension spring and the front pull out drawer on the cabinet is missing but it does have a wood pitman. My DH will have it looking as new as possible when he gets time to work on it. Took pics and will post them soon. Have no idea just where I'm going to put another treadle but it's kinda like kids, you always find room for one more. lol

As long as it fits the opening and the hinge pins fit fine in the machine, you're good to go. |
Well, I did it again. I have my 2nd treadle machine--a White Family Rotary in a Mission cabinet. :) The machine moves freely, so the cleanup is going to be cosmetic. She is just covered in grime. I do think most of the decals are intact underneath. The cabinet is still at my sister's. No matter how hard we tried, we just couldn't cram it into the backseat or trunk of a little Hyundai! It needs some work on the veneer and pretty much every joint needs to be re-glued. There is something wrong with the lift, but I think it has "good bones." No pics to share yet--maybe next week after it comes home.
Serial number: FR 2623596, about 1917. I found some papers crammed behind the drawers from 1935 with information on a church and a high school in Indiana. The seller said it was her great-aunt's machine and that she had been wanting to fix it up, but just never got around to it. Also an interesting note, I saw where the WFR with Mission cabinet was originally about $75-$80. According to an inflation calculator, it would be about $1200 to $1300 these days. Makes my $45 look good by comparison. Now I really need to get on the ball and get some of my machine stash going and quit looking for new ones! |

Okay I went to the worlds largest yard sale yesterday that spans 6 states along one hwy and I found more machines that you can imagine!!!!! I bought several items and was able to make a lucrative deal with an antique dealer with me supplying him with treadles and vintage machines. :thumbup:
I did not take a lot of money with me because I had no idea what I was going to get it no but OMG next year I am taking my 40 trailer and about 6 grand and I will be in hog heaven!!!! I stopped counting treadle after 50 or so and I saw 25 or 30 different manufactures along with lots of them in the 1800's. I bought some n ew old stock Tennessee bicycle plates from 1953 and 1954 that were correct for that county for $5 a pair and sold them this morning for $200 to my buddy. He could not get over here fast enough to get them!!! I will post photos of all of the neat treadle related items I bought and be ready for me to unload a few things in the sale section sometime soon. I need to clean out some garage so I can make room for 10 more treadles that I bought. Billy |
Where was the yard sale? I want to go
