Sure looks like my Wheeler and Wilson #8.
Did you notice that the treadle wheel is on the outside of the treadle frame, very common on the #8 treadles. Cathy

Saw this one while "window shopping" today on CL. I really don't know what it is, but it looked interesting! Looks like it would take a wide belt, probably pre-1900?

Neat! Now that I've looked at some other images of the W&W 8, I can see where I was mistaken about the belt. The width of the wheel itself, not the groove, was throwing me off. I knew as soon as I posted it someone would know. :)

So I am cleaning this Raymond and under a very rusty yucky area I came across this pic of a beaver and what looks to be a signature.... Did all the Raymonds have signatures? [ATTACH=CONFIG]306305[/ATTACH]
It's a shame she has so much rust.:( Also, does anyone know where I could get a back slide plate(rusted) and decals? Nancy |

We just love him - we didn't have to go through the puppy stuff and he is so loving probably because he loves it here!
Nancy We got him after we lost little Tarzan the Man, my tiny chihuahua! Rambo is a great dog, meant for us! I will try to remember to bring some photos! Nancy |
What a shame this is. The treadle pedal is even rusted! People just threw these old ladies out in the rain when they got tired of them! That was once a beautiful machine and cabinet! http://sacramento.craigslist.org/atq/2820328462.html

I am hanging in there and trying to get better. I have to go to NYU in March for a 6 week study so hopefully they can find a cure for this disease or some other type of treatment that is not as bad as whats out there now. Its all going to be experimental and I am not sure how long they are going to do it for and if it works when they will introduce the drug for someone else that might have the disease. But I have learned that since I have no immune system I tend to get sick really easily and just because I had a cold last week doesnt mean I cant get strep the next week!! LOL

Hi Everyone,
I'm very new to the vintage sewing world. I bought a Singer 15-91 last summer and have finally gotten brave enough to get her cleaned up and refurbished. (Her name is Beth!) I've been using Billy's tutorials as a starting place, but wasn't sure if I should remove some of the shuttle and the feed dogs. Any advice or pictures about working in this area? Thank you!
