    Do you now anything about this machine?? Thank you for your help.
    I certainly treasure "her" !!! Kay

    Would LOVE to see pics of her! What a neat treasure and story to go with it...have you written that down to put in her case yet?
    I like the story too.
    Nice story but I would like to see a pic of this

    We could give everybody a spray can of different colors and make a clown.

    Janice, you might also want to join the Yahoo group for the Davis machines...they have a lot of files and information there! :) There are also step by step photos of how to disassemble and reassemble the machine's faceplate where all the action is!

    (My machine, on that page, is the New High Arm Vertical Feed, almost halfway down the page)

    Spray paint from WM with my luck would rub off on a quilt - U R right, I should probably get her done up right so she doesn't soil anything - maybe DH would let her in the house - not that he would have THAT much say. I kind of like the old girl. She is waiting for a bobbin case I ordered.

    Does anybody know if you can FM with one of those? She sure turns fast. Then with the motor going you can't even see the needle. Maybe she should be painted up to look like a low sleek race car?

    HHHMMMM Purple with a red hat. I bet she needs a few flowers. She is butt ugly like she is don't you think?

    Haid & Neu was a German company that was bought out by Singer - I think in the 50's. I have not been able to find out much more about the company. The machine I have seen by H&N is a treadle from the late 40's or early 50's.

    http://website.lineone.net/~lindave/other2.htm
    This site has some other machines by Haid & Neu - part way down the page, the company is mentioned in the description of the machines as having made the machines for other labels. There is also a blurb about the company.

    This is someone's photo of an H&N. Are you going to post a pic of yours? We would love to see it.
