Singer Treadle Sewing Machine 15-30

Dateline: 01/24/2000

Continued from page 1

This manual was found with my treadle sewing machine. Using the serial number on the machine I was able to ascertain that the machine was manufactured in 1901. Needless to say the manual is very aged and fragile! Due to it's condition the on line images are a large size and may take a while to load, but well worth the time! The simplistic wording and descriptions make this manual a great way to glance back in history and discover that no matter how much things change, they stay the same!
