I just recently bought a COTTAGE TREADLE SEWING MACHINE.Its in it's a very nice 6 draw cabinet. I know its from the 1800's. I can not find any information on it. the history not anything. I thought maybe someone might know something. Or you computer people would be able to find it. If not i understand. Thanks for the Help in advance.
Debi, go to the 3rd page of this forum and look for the topic "Another great find at the thrift store. On the 2nd page is a post from Judith and she has a lot of treadle machines and she might be familiar with your machine. You could send her an e-mail. Hope this helps!
Hi Debi~ I don't know if this will work and without a picture to see what it is excally I'm not sure. But try this website. You can ask people who deal with vintage and antique items. www.worthpoint.com It's free to register, you might be able to find something out. Happy sewing! Laura Marie www.lauramariedesign.com
Hi Debi, National Sewing Machine Company made a machine named Cottage. National made machines under many names for department stores, etc. Do you have a picture of it? That would help me pin it down better. If you go to needlebar.org they have a large file of pictures and you may find a match, at least for the machine if not for the name.
