Singer treadle I looked at is a model 28. Can anyone give me a suggested buying price because I tend to value them a lot higher than I see them for sale.Decent condition.
Will need to see more than a photo to actually buy but I am weakening and thinking of where I could put it.

I just got this one from Ebay and should be here by Friday. I should have had her shipped directly to Billy so he could give her his spa treatment but I just had to see her first.
Anyway Billy, as soon as I get my Cleo back from you, this one will be headed your way. I think this one will need a little more elbow grease than Cleo.

There is one like mine for sale on E-bay right now for $699, at least last time I looked it was still there!
Good luck with your purchase -- if you get the machine, please post pictures! We all love pictures!

This doesnt even touch what I have in the house that I do not use at all because they are close to museum quality and near perfect examples. And all but 3 are treadled.

Billy, I love your machines especially that 128!
I'd bet my Singer 9W would give your Singer 9W a run for your money!
Is that a 99K - second down? What is the one on the bottom right?
Anyway, your machines look delicious!

Months ago I offered to help this owner sell the treadle--more I thought about it the more I wanted it. Had only seen photo thru pc. My life got busy but friend traded me a metal base so pasified me.
Before coming away for winter I decided to get machine if i could find a place to set it in house but didn't see her at church in time. Price was reasonable too.
Checked serial # then contacted her to say I will buy. She is to keep it til spring for me. Apparently works but no doubt will need some TLC. It is in cabinet that has 2 drawers on each side but certainly not as pretty as the one on page 352. Appreciate all the help.
