Dear Hanna's Mom, I do apologize for posting my ebay listing in this group if it was not appropriate. I am only trying to get the word out about nice items that I have for sale. There is certainly no mal-intent or spamming intention on my part. As for your excellent priced purchases, congratulations. Treadle sewing machines were made well into the late

1930's and are, in fact, still numerous. Finding an antique WHITE treadle from 1890, ornate and in near perfect condition, is not however such an easy task. This is why the item was priced starting at $150.00 and has now been bid past $500.00. Thank you for your feedback to my listing. -Shogen (Ebay - "shogen-1")

Finding an antique WHITE

Whites treadles are still quite prevelant here in Michingan and in Ontario Canada and you often find pristine ones in the Good Will or other thrift shops. Now a Raymond in perfect condition would warrant the $500.00 price tag but here a White would not. Good luck on your auction. Many treadles were made well into the 50's with Singer still producing a 15 type now. Many of them are still sold to Amish or Old Order Mennonite who do not have electricity in their homes. Remember that the patent date on a machine does not mean the date of manufacture. It could actually be quite a bit newer.

And here in the UK a Canadian built 15-81 was worth so little (despite the machine head being in excellent condition under a thick layer of dust) that it was given to me free! The only condition set was that I get it in full working order and use it occasionally, because the friend who gave it to me said it belonged to her granny. It's a 1936-40 vintage.

Some treadles are worth a bit, but if you look on eBay, you will see hundreds going for peanuts, and out in the boonies in all corners of the world there will be others still working in factories, still more lonesome and forgotten in sheds and garages, barns and attics, in house clearance junk shops, thrift and charity shops... Very few of them are of any monetary value at all.

Why not learn to use this one, join the growing band of Treadle and people powered sewing enthusiasts, and have fun with it. I intend to make the lady who gave me mine a quilt on it. It will be a simple pattern, pieced and quilted with love on an engaging old lady of a machine. She will eventually sit on my upstairs landing, in front of a north facing widow, and be used with love. My other old machine, a hand cranked 1923 Singer 66K is already a machine with a long history of me using her, as she had been mine since 1976! Hit the URL below and visit my machines.
