I wrote to Singer at the web address below, described what I had and they emailed me a manual.

(What I wrote
I have recently acquired a model 20 (toy). It is the handcrank with 7 spokes without the numbering imprinted on
it. When I go to the site to get a manual, all it has is the electric one. I'd like a manual, to know what size
clamp I need to get and what size (?kind) of needle I need to get. Thank you!

Here's some pictures of a Little Daisy treadle child's sewing machine currently on ebay. It's at nearly $1500 right now. Will end around 2 pm today. It sure is cute.

Another children's treadle for sale! I would love to have it, just costs way too much!

Description:
A very rare Princess number 1 child's treadle sewing machine made by the Decker Mfg Co., Detroit, Michigan. It is in very good condition. The machine itself is fully operational and still has it's original floral decoration on the frame. The table has no cracks or warp. The base is undamaged, as is the treadle which moves freely. There is about 50% paint loss on the base. There are a few small paint spots on the table, and some of the finish is missing on its right side. The screw that holds the needle in place has been replaced. It measures 31" tall by 22 5/8" wide by 11 1/2" deep.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]321396[/ATTACH]Ok here is my second Toy Sewing Machine. She is a Damascus I bought today off of Craigslist for $30. She is missing her needle and the screw that holds the needle in. She was made my National Sewing Machine Company at the Belvedere factory in Illinois around 1920. She was owned by the Grandmother of the person who sold her to me. Grandmother used her to make doll clothes when she was a little girl, which gives us her approximate age![ATTACH=CONFIG]321395[/ATTACH]
I put her next to the normal sized Pfaff just to give you an idea of her size!
