1900 Davis Treadle Sewing Machine

David treadle sewing machine
This is my great-grandmother's 1900 Davis Treadle Sewing Machine. It is in perfect working condition. She bought it second-hand in 1924 for $26 back in Kentucky. Granny used it to make clothes for the family until she passed away in her late 90s. It is still oiled up and ready to sew. My mother tried it out and it works great! Comes with bobbins, thread, and needles. The Davis Company went out of business in the 1930's and these antique models are quite rare.
