During the turn of the 19th Century there was a flurry of activity amoung manufacturers to get in on the sewing machine business, which was a huge market at the time. Most companies were short lived affairs, eventually being beaten into the ground by Singer by the 1920's. Values for these treadle machines are very modest, most by obscure or badge engineered makers sell for less than $150.00.
