    Hey Fladack,

    send us the name and serial number of your treadle (model if you know it) and we will check to see if we can find a front bobbin plate for it.

    Between Charlee and Billy, we are all learning a lot about parts hunting.

    I also bought 1 of these! It was so pretty I had to have it. Now that I have it, it is sitting collecting dust and taking up space. May I ask what you paid for yours? I am going to sell mine at a garage sale and wondering what a fair price would be. I got mine for $25 and the case is still in mint condition. I have had it for quite awhile now.

    I bought 2 machines (different types) at the same time. The seller wanted $50 for each, and she accepted $80 for the pair. I think I will probably sell both after I clean them up and test them out, because I have too many machines and not enough time. I bought this one just because I thought it was so pretty, and I'm hoping someone else will want it for the same reason. Any takers out there?
