I have my grandmother's 1904 White treadle machine, still works great, although nobody left knows how to use it. I keep it oiled just in case. I also have a 40's vintage "portable" electric model in a suitcase sort of arrangement with a foot pedal. It was my mother's, although she wasn't the seamstress my grandmother was. There's also a 60s (I think) Singer electric that belonged to my aunt here, we use it for an end table.
