Thanks for the info on patent dating. When the machine was checked it was found to have patent dates of 1879 and 1880 and was styled as a "NEW RAYMOND". I haven't seen it yet as I'm tied up with the current show at the theatre. I'd love to have a treadle machine as that is what I learned on and sewed, in a factory, on late 19thC. or early 20th C. electric powered treadle machines. I haven't a clue what to offer for it. Ideas anyone? I understand that there are pics, which I haven't seen yet, but I don't know how to post them.
