Just wanted to bring this back up as it's been a while.... since I last visited. I would really appreciate obtaining any parts manual and operation manual for this machine. It belonged to my dad and he was never able to obtain information so as to put it into operation. He passed away last year at 87 years old so there is sentimental impetus for me to get this machine operational. In addition my wife has taken an interest in Black Powder shooting in the last few years and I have been making a few items by hand and with a leather machine would be fun too. thanks, jrc

Daggrim thanks again and will check it out. torrbuidhe....HOLY...those are the first pix I have seen of my machine, thanks ever so much for the info and link. For sometime have been looking for info (about a year) off and on and this is the first specific info and pix I have seen!! was actually getting disheartend thanks again..... jrc

Daggrim, Shall do a search of the Smithsonian Museum website....thanks. Art, Thanks for the clarification of manufacture date and will do a search on Singer antique collectors groups. Are you aware of anyone that has used one of these and if it's even worth trying to get working? Thanks again, jrc

Hi Everyone, I have an old Singer Leather Treadle machine (my dad's) that I would like to get running if possible, for personal projects. Do you think it is worth while?? I'm trying to find manuals, parts list and any other information that would assist in me getting it going, but as yet have not been able to find any info. In searching the Singer website, it appears the machine is old as there is no data for it. As I recall the serial number indicates manufacure date of the 1870's (I think), I have included some pix of the machine and any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks, jrc

Hi Everyone, Just came across this site last night while rooting around trying to find info on my old treadle leather sewing machine. This site looks awesome and has lots of info and helpful folks too... see you in the forums, jrc
