And a couple of toys (a little Betty and a Singer 40.) There are 2 treadles in the same area, a 27 Sphinx 1899, and an IF treadle, 1885.

I have a few others tucked away - a Singer 66 with Lotus decal, treadle, a Free Rotoscillo treadle, and about a dozen vintage electric Singers, mainly 99's and 201's, and a Japanese badged Standard hand crank. And a few under repair, with 5 treadles stacked out in the shed. I don't have the largest collection in the world by any stretch of the imagination, but I love them :)

will never bid on ebay unless i check with you first-- in regards to threads -- machines -- etc etc -- as i could be the competitor bidder on ebay and that would not be nice -- but since ted and i do not need anymore -- i think that will not happen -- mostly we buy just to learn and then give away -- stay in touch -- you have all the info on me via your email address and again i so love that blog and am still continuing to read -- if i get a scold from cw so be it -- but i am posting your blog info
