Old Treadle Machine
Yesterday I dusted off and oiled my old treadle sewing machine and took it for a spin. The brand is called "Companion", I haven't been able to find any information on the internet about it. I bought the machine many years ago at a local second-hand store. It stitches beautifully, I should use it once in awhile. There are many attachments that came with it, including different sizes of roll hemmers and a ruffler.
