I bought an old Singer Treadle Machine on Ebay recently. I did some research and also contacted Singer to find out when it was made and discovered it was made in 1926 at Clydebank in Scotland.
I have spent a few weeks restoring it. I only have the drawers and the inside top wood work to finish. Also have to clean up the bobbin winder; it is a bit tight and doesn't wind the bobbins very well at the moment. I am really pleased with it; it is looking really good, almost like new except for 
the lovely aged wear. The decals are in pretty good shape for its age.
I have got the tension working perfectly and it sews very well. I would like to make some quilt blocks with it and see how it goes. That will be another project for me once I finish with the restoration work.
