Newly-conserved "The Free" treadle cabinet - the rotoscillo head is yet to be cleaned and such.

Nice. My mom had a Free-Westinghouse many years ago. If ebay was around then, it would still be working.

My grandmothers had similar machines.

I love all the comments about grandmas :) My grandma has a brown crinkle-finish Kenmore that she's made us pillowcases and aprons on :)

My grandma also has this sewing machine she got it from my great grandma

[@L0wSkiller]

They sure don't make things like they used to.

[@thevmc]

Amen to that!

My mother had one I loved to watch her sew

[@thevmc]

That's so nice! I have my mom's machine, that I watched her sew on, then played "spaceship" on, then learned to sew on. It has a broken gear and she has a loaner from me now that is actually a much better machine haha!
