| Front View, Pivoting Drawer |
I picked this one up in Preston, CT a couple of days ago, and just got around to photographing it to begin some research into it, so far to no avail! I searched for Galloway Treadle, then looked closer at the name on the head and could make out "Leader" after the Galloway, so I looked for that. Nothing. I found a good amount of info on a James Galloway Weir in the late 1800s who made some of the first inexpensive lock stitch machines in England, which lead me to Charles Raymond, who had a very similar machine and found "Sterling, "New Home"" and "Domestic" Treadle machines that could be twins to mine, but nothing with the same name. I left a phone message with S. Engle Sewing Machines in Johnson, VT in hopes that he may have a clue. We'll see.
