Vintage Favorite brand treadle machine- Looking for info
Hi
We just purchased a vintage (antique) Favorite brand treadle machine in cabinet. The only numbers we can find so far (it's really dirty) are: 716394. This is on the slide plate covering the shuttle bobbin case area.

I'd like help with the age, and any other info on this machine. It works really well, but, like I mentioned, is very dirty...sat in a barn for many years.
Thanks in advance!

Could be Standard. Just not much info on this particular model.

Thanks...leaning towards a Standard, mostly by color of the decals. It's a neat little 3/4 size machine. Everything works on it...which is unusual, since it's been in a barn for decades. Marge

I think it is a Standard, if the decals have anything to do with it. Going to spit shine it up and the cabinet also...Mahogany, or Cherry... Thanks for the reply.
