Bradbury Treadle

$ 600.00

(ABOVE)
Here is a success story.  This beautiful Bradbury Treadle was purchased in pieces. The woodwork had been painted/varnished BLACK and had been kept in the attic of a house, the machine had been stored in a garden shed and the treadle stand was in pieces outside.  Just goes to show you that quality machines, such as the Bradburys are hard to distroy.

This is the legendary "Mourning Design' which was produced for a short time following the death of the extremely popular Queen Alexandra in 1925.

JONES SERPENTINE ( CAT BACK )

(ABOVE)
An early Jones serpentine sewing machine.  Although not rare by any means, this one holds a special place in our collection. Nancy found and purchased this one at a local auction. Besides the fact that the majority of decals are still present and bright, what we like about it is that it was badged (decal in the center of the bed) by a local hardware store that is still in business.
