This is a 1924 7 drawer singer sewing machine. We picked it up at an antique mall. It came with the original owners manual and the hardware above. It is in great shape and everything works great. No sign of rust. The only problem is the leather belt has broken. Where would we get a replacement one or what do we use instead?

i have one to a singer new home no belt i need one to .do you know the value
Thanks for the comment Lundy, not sure about value. depends on age/model and collectibility. I am really not an expert on sewing machines. My wife wanted it and we got it. She loves sewing/crafts.
You can order leather belts for the treadle machines off the internet . Also most sewing machine stores or shops carry the leather belts .
Thanks Nancy. Is it a good idea to keep the original belt to maintain value of it as a whole?
trgrubaugh : The original belt does not add any value to your machine . They wear out and are no longer of any use or value . I just throw the olds ones away .
thanks nancy again
thanks official fuel
Nice 66 treadle, you should easily find a belt online. You might pay too much if you buy one from a shop. Research both and see.
thanks bernadette i will
trgrubaugh : Around here the belts are the same price at the shops as you can get them off the internet and you do not have to pay postage .
hi i need a belt also what do you recomm t yend
Around here the belts sell for around $10.00 .
thanks nancy where u from jwl691@yahoo.com
