Re: New Automatic treadle sewing machine

Not much demand for treadle machines unless you have something very old or unusual. I'm not sure who made this one , but it looks like a Singer clone. Most like this often sell for about $150.00.

Re: New Automatic treadle sewing machine

Thanks for your time, I do appreciate it.

I did try searching, not just here either but all over the internet and got nothing for results. But, thanks again.
