It's a treadle machine and everything still moves but is missing the leather belt to link the foot peddal. Any chance you can point me in the right direction? The cabinet it's in is a little water damaged on the top but steady. Any help appreciated.

But then I realized that probably most sewing machines are female, I can't quite imagine one called Butch!What-I-Foundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960612319902765855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623916397876614025.post-58110605097856368652012-08-01T16:49:16.083-07:002012-08-01T16:49:16.083-07:00I'm pretty sure that blonde wood sewing table ...I'm pretty sure that blonde wood sewing table (#4, center) is exactly what I'm sewing on now (hahaha), and the zig-zag 'feather weight' machine with free arm and knee press lever in the page below looks alot like an Elna I had from the same era--a super machine if there ever was one (still wish I had her).Jen Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371112170847037417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623916397876614025.post-89656474762314786512012-07-22T07:18:01.349-07:002012-07-22T07:18:01.349-07:00I used to get sets like that in my antique shop of...I used to get sets like that in my antique shop often, yeah they were switched out for more modern usually heavier wood styles. But I must say the wood ones were more sturdy, the wrought iron ones were pretty flimsy and must have been hard to sew with.
