My Dad's Howe treadle
Manufactured:
1872
Serial Number: 412500
This machine dates to 1872. My Dad brought the machine head to me and within a few minutes we had threaded it and were sewing with it. We didn't have the manual but the threading was fairly easy to figure out. What a nice stitch these sew! If anyone should happen to have the side drawer, or the drip pan for under the head, please email me. Thanks!
Any further information as to what the model might be of the machine head, etc. is greatly appreciated. The last patent date is 1867 and the serial number is 412500. The photos below were taken before the machine was cleaned up at all, except for the last photo on the page.
Thanks to all who offered information!
Below are photos of the machine after cleaning and oiling.
