[email protected][ATTACH=CONFIG]539416[/ATTACH]This beauty came to my house to live Sunday. I cannot seem to locate any information on her. Decals appear original as does treadle. Some rust (little) repair and oiling needed as well as cabinet refurbished. There is a book that goes with it but didn't get it... yet. There are 4 long skinny metal bobbins with it. Thanks for any help.[ATTACH=CONFIG]539418[/ATTACH]

Hi,
Quite beautiful. The New Queen gets a mention in the Sears article. According to this it was made by National.

National / Eldredge was the maker of early Montgomery Wards machines. They used thousands of different badged or stencilled names on their machines for the retailer. Enjoy.

man that is a beauty. I would not refinish that cabinet... I would restore what you have, a little oil a little care and that will be a timeless thing of beauty. Looks to have a very large and heavy ( a good thing) handwheel on it, I bet she sews really really well, I used a singer 27 in a treadle quite a bit ( same long bobbin type of machine as yours,) and once you learn how they work they are quite nice.... I like my shuttle machines ( I have about a dozen )

x2 on this one. It would look awesome just cleaned and oiled. I have been to a few sales that were from people who had the sewing machine cabinet refinished and then found that they could no longer really display the head as well because they looks SO different, it was jarring. I agreed and passed on the purchases.
