Well, I just made a trip to the East Coast, where I met my two new sewing machine adopted children:
Yep, those are "Egyptian" decals from a Singer treadle: 1906, I think. My sister found it in a neighbor's garage, asked for it, and got it - free..............
My other "adoptee" is this Singer 301 ... I bought it through the mail for my 92 year old mother, who was having a terrible time sewing with the "new" machines. I just new this is what she wanted, and it was! She is loving it.... It will be mine too, "one day"...
For now, long trip over, we are home, I dragged through the trip with the end of the flu, my DH got sick enroute, and we are both so tired we can't move. No sewing yet... but soon.

Such great finds! I hope you are feeling well soon.
I do all of my quilting on a treadle! Those are both great machines to work on.
Oh, my! Thanks for sharing pictures of these beauties.
Lovely treadle. Be VERY careful if you clean it, so you don't ruin/silver the decals. I have a 301, same color, with the long bed instead of the short bed. I was sewing with it last night. Fun machines.
Hello Kate,
Lovely treadle, and at just the right price, too! I bet you can't wait to sew on it. I do all my sewing on hand machines or treadles- my newest machine dates from 1949. Plenty of info on my blog and Youtube channel if you need it.
Love from England,

Congrats on your new babies! :-)
Oh my word, that machine with the decals is probably the most beautiful sewing machine I've ever laid eyes on! And the table...just gorgeous. I love that you found an old, reliable machine for your mother. It reminds me very much of my 1962 Singer 503a, a true workhorse much loved by its original owner, my late mother-in-law. It's even the same color. Kudos!
