Singer Treadle Sewing Machine

By Lalani, 9 June, 2008
Description

The top of the cabinet has some wear and stains.  Nothing that cannot be restored.  The machine has a lot of wear of the metal and paint including distinguishing marks. It is missing a handle on one of the drawers and the other drawer handles are not in great shape. Many original items remain in the drawers including the puzzle box.  I have looked up the serial number and believe it is a 1893 model and the manufacture date on the machine match up with the last year listed as 1878.  We purchased a house in which this item was left.  We know that the husband received it from his grandmother who had had it in the family for some time.
