Welcome to the Vintage and Antique Machine group of QB. My mom's machine would be pretty valuable to me... I hope you are wanting to get it back in good working condition and use it. I looked on the site where I find out the age and model # of Singer machine and didn't find any serial numbers starting with C. Could it be a G? If it's a G, it's a model 66 released in 1912. Value is in the eye of the beholder. I've heard of people paying little, a lot, or free for old treadles. Please take a picture and post it so all of us old machine collectors can oogle and drool over your treasure.

From ISMACS:
C- Beginning 1908
When Russian army invaded Germany in 1945, they stripped all the machinery from the Singer Company's Wittenberg factory.

Banjar Gal, are you able to post photos of the machine? It would be nice to see it.
Apologies to Banjar Gal for the digression... Jon, I know Dietrich switched over to arms, as did many of the other sewing machine manufacturers. The Russians can be held entirely to blame for the fact that Dietrich, Kohler and other manufacturers in Eastern Germany never returned to their pre-war glory and ended up producing indifferent machines for the USSR and Eastern bloc. When I eventually show pictures of my 1936 Vesta Transverse Shuttle you can weep with me.
