Treadle Machine on ebay ..... really?
I saw this ad on ebay for a New Home treadle machine. When I brought the photos up, I had to laugh. Treadle .... really?!?! Why is there a motor and wiring attached to it then? Am I missing something? Where did they come up with the date for the machine? Ebay is an interesting place to shop. You just never know what you will find or see.

Yep!! Definitely antique. You can tell by the patina and the motor. Motor most likely a prototype in anticipation of the marvels of electricity that would come in the next 15-20 years. Truly a one of a kind. , .
