This is a find! Someone's grandma had this in her attic or something, and grandma has gone to her Reward, so here is the foot-treadle sewing machine she had and used for decades, and it's marked at only 150 euros! It's for sale in my neighborhood outside Paris, France, and I can get it for you and have it shipped anywhere in the world!
This is great! Look, it's got the wooden box top, so you can store it and keep it dust-free when you don't need it! It has been kept in perfect working order -- even the belt is supple and ready to rock 'n' roll!
This will work anywhere in the world, people, and you can use it and sew away to your heart's content! I did learn sewing back in the early 1970s in junior high school, thanks to Mrs. Adornetto, and i got an "A" for the course, but sewing has just never really been my bag. It's a useful thing to know, and I actually CAN buy a pattern and select fabric and follow the instructions and make stuff, I am just really not that interested in doing it myself, is all.
(I do make lace -- contact me if you want to buy any. I specialize in the simple, pretty decorative edgings you can sew onto a collar, or sleeves, or a handkerchief border, or a pillowcase border. It is called "tatting," and my father learned how to do it among the Pennsy Dutch women in his family when he was a boy in Ohio in the Great Depression and all. He encouraged me to learn it, and I did. I never could master the complex loops and lah-di-dahs he could do, but I make a simple edging just fine, thank you! You just need to tell me EXACTLY how many inches or centimeters of lace edging you need, okay? Cuz it cannot be cut! It is made to size! It is very nice on Christening gowns or hankies. Let me know!)
Anyway, what you have to do is contact my agent, RicHernandez, at +33(0)698001705 during 9 to 5 business hours in Paris, France. He speaks English, Spanish and French and he can help arrange the deal. He gets ten per cent. of my action.
Otherwise, you can e-mail me at slobomotion@gmail.com and just deal with me directly, but I like to give my agent work, he is a nice guy.
You would have to send me 150 euros so I could buy the machine. You could send it via the postal system if you like, or Western Union I suppose (but i don't like them too much, they gouge ya!), or you could send me a French check in euros drawn on a French bank, payable to LISA FALOUR.
Then, I will contact a local shipper. They are specialized in packing and shipping fragile stuff all over the world. They will see that your sewing machine arrives safely, in perfect condition, fully insured in case anything goes wrong. It will probably take a couple of months to get to you, as it will probably travel by sea.
I would tell you what the shipping cost would be, and you would have to get me that money, in euros.
Finally, I would add my fee. I think I would add 110 euros on. That way, my agent would get ten euros, and I would get 100 euros. I would take care of giving my agent his little cut. He lives right near me, and when he is too busy to meet with me directly, I just mail him a check -- it's no problem. He trusts me (he should!).
Then, I can give 100 euros to my husband, and say, look, honey, pay a bill with this! Hee hee hee hee! My French husband loves when I give him money! Bless his stingy little heart, hee hee hee hee hee!!!!! (I loves him so!)

@TheTuckster3333 They are gems. This one runs on foot power and someone kept it in absolutely perfect condition. Clean as a whistle, and all the belts supple and new.

@60pedrolivecom This one gets a lot of views. I was just stupefied. This machine was in perfect working order and had been beautifully maintained. I keep finding amazing "grandma's attic" stuff for sale here. I make lace by hand and am sorry I never much enjoyed sewing, as it is a super practical skill. Good for you! These foot treadle machines will work anywhere and can make someone a business.

@suzymeme7 You could pay for most of a vacation to many fabulous countries by pre-selling one of these and having it shipped over to meet you upon arrival -- but only the non-electric ones have high value. Electrical items don't work in other countries. xo
