This is so beautiful. I have never seen one like it and in really good condition.
Did you get it through E-Bay?
I learned to sew on my grandmother's treadle also. I just loved sewing on it.
Thanks for sharing.

I bought it at an auction in a very small town. Was a family piece.
Yes there are shelf pocket inside the "wings".
You are supposed to be able to open the top and the machine pops up...the chain pulls the machine up. I adjusted it(chain) a bit after I got it but the machine is heavy and I did not want anything to get damaged.

Just to name a few would be the National Co and Davis Co.
Is that a Minnesota A? Will you please post pictures of just the machine and of the area for the chain lift.
Very nice looking machine! Congrats, and enjoy that beauty!
