NOTE: Hi everyone! I have had this beautiful piece listed in my store for sometime now. I have many watchers. If there are any interested parties, I have placed the "Best Offer" button there for a reason. Let's not be shy! :) I entertain all offers. This is a beautiful piece and she needs a loving home where it will be used and cared for.  So...give it a shot. What have you got to loose?


Antique Vintage 1912 “New Home” Treadle Sewing Machine

Details: Excellent condition. Red Oak. Serial number 3298940. Measures (unopened) 34.5" L x 19" D/W x 30" H. Measures (opened) 49.75" L x 19" D/W x 30" H. Original shellac / varnish. Fully functional. Leather treadle strap needs to be reconnected or replaced. (See photos) It came undone when I was testing the treadle. Leather still has strength, but you might want to replace it if desired. Please feel free to email me if you have any detailed questions. This has been in the family for years and I am not schooled on vintage sewing machines other than what I have found on the internet. 

Shipping: This is a pick up item only. If you live non-local or international you can arrange a shipping company to pick up this item. I can also assist you in finding a shipping company with a reasonable cost.


About Me

Welcome. I have been selling on EBay now for almost 5 years and I really enjoy the process. It is fun, creative and I learn so much as I research items I sell. I am honest and extremely detailed in my descriptions, almost obsessive. Always feel free to contact me and ask for further details or images and I will email them to you for review. I provide excellent customer service, which is reflected in my 100% positive feedback, and I take pride in that. If you have ANY challenges or questions please contact me so I can resolve it for you immediately. Thank you in advance for patronizing my listings. Wishing you many, many blessings - Bruce Royer.


See my other listings for more great items!




I accept Pay Pal as my payment method as this recently has become mandatory due to revised eBay policy.

I expect payment within 7 days as defined by EBay policy. Granted, circumstances occurring in ones life require your immediate attention - a car accident, health issue, family crisis or what have you. I understand this. Just let me know that you are being challenged.

If I don’t hear from you, I wait the required 7 days and then file an unpaid item dispute stating that I have not heard from the buyer. I am VERY understanding and if you don’t want the item, can’t pay for it or whatever just let me know. Stuff happens in life. With that in mind I will just continue the dispute process by closing the item as “mutually agreed” and that will be it. I am not sure what EBay does on their end with your account standing on EBay, but from my end I will consider the matter closed. I will not and never have given negative or demeaning feedback unless a tremendous abuse has occurred. So far in my 4 years of selling on EBay that has never happened.

Once payment is received I post positive feedback. I also ask that once you receive your item and you are satisfied that you follow suit and provide the same. If you are not satisfied, contact me immediately, and we can work out the details of a return.




I primarily ship my items using the United States Postal service. I ship worldwide. I offer many shipping options for you within my listing. If you prefer UPS, FedEx than let me know if it is not visible within the shipping method section of my listing.

PLEASE NOTE: eBay has changed their shipping policy where I have to list the cost of shipping for each item. With some items this is not possible. Art, for example. Some buyers would like the print, frame and glass shipped, some just the print and frame and others just the print. It is impossible from my end to determine the potential buyers request before hand. So you will see in some of my art listings, "Free Shipping". This means I will ship just the print for free. If you desire print, frame and glass or just print and frame, you will need to let me know at time of purchase and I will have it properly weighed and email you a revised invoice reflecting the changes.

Fine art and other extremely valuable items are professionally packaged for shipment. I am open to the buyers request for how they would like these types of items prepared for packaging and shipment.

PLEASE NOTE: For other items I recycle. I believe our Earth is in danger and I do my part to help keep her healthy and clean. So I ship in boxes I collect from my local hardware store and other locations. I wrap your item in loads of bubble wrap and/or newspaper that I also recycle. I purchase boxes and bubble wrap only when none is available during my collections. When your package arrives it may not look perfect or pretty, but I can assure you it will arrive safely and in perfect condition.

I HIGHLY suggest you, as a buyer, become aware of the various shipping methods offered by the USPS and the length of time each service takes for an item to arrive at your doorstep. You may visit the USPS or UPS website to learn more about this. I sell many items that are media related and offer that shipping option within my listings – but PLEASE NOTE – though shipping Media Mail is the cheapest, it is also the slowest. It takes longer to reach you.

I also HIGHLY suggest you purchase insurance so if there is a problem your money can be refunded to you. On very expensive items insurance will be necessary. Once I hand off the package to USPS or UPS, based upon YOUR choice, it is out of my hands and in theirs. We all know that on rare occasions things shipped can get lost.

I include a .75 charge (that the US Post Office charges me) within my EBay shipping and handling fees to pay for shipping and receiving confirmation on all items I send. I DO NOT gouge my customers with excessive shipping fees. I DO NOT make money off of you by charging high shipping costs. I include a minimal handling fee to cover my costs for the time and expense it takes to wrap,package, label and ship your item to you.

When I receive notification from Pay Pal that payment has been received I follow to the letter what you, the buyer, have chosen as your shipping method and the instructions you have provided. I also ship to the address that you, the buyer, have supplied to Pay Pal. So please make sure your shipping address is current within your Pay Pal account. Any questions or problems please contact me.

RETURNS: You may return any purchase, within 14 days of receipt, at your expense, for a refund of your purchase price (winning bid, Best Offer, or Buy It Now price paid).

If there was an error on my end, I will refund all shipping costs.

I am extremely detailed in my listings and you are invited to email me as many times as you like to find out more about the item you are interested in purchasing. I am very prompt in answering your questions and will even take extra detailed images of the item, if you wish, and email them to you.


INSURANCE:I offer insurance as an OPTION within my listings as it is your choice as to whether or not you want your item insured. On expensive items I am selling, it is necessary. If your item arrives broken due to mishandling by the shipping company then there is no way to way to reimburse your loss, if you have not purchased insurance.

On Oct-29-08 at 09:15:09 PDT, seller added the following information:

 

Dear potential buyers,

 

If you notice in the “shipping area” just below the price it reads: “Pickup only - see item description for details” and just below that it reads “Will arrange for local pickup only (no shipping).

 

You will also see in my item description that I state: “This is a pick up item only. If you live non-local or international you can arrange a shipping company to pick up this item. I can also assist you in finding a shipping company with a reasonable cost.”

 

There are a few of you out there interested in this item and have emailed me about the shipping costs. So I have weighed the sewing machine, as I did not anticipate anyone from out of state interested in purchasing this item.

 

So here are the details: the “New Home” sewing machine weighs 106 pounds unpackaged. That is why I put “local pickup only”.

 

 if you are interested in this item and are from out of state and you don’t want to arrange a shipping company from your end to pick up the item I can do it for you, BUT there will be a small fee to drop this item off at UPS for them to package and ship. That cost can’t be determined until you buy the item. What you can do is use the dimensions within the listing and the weight and then go to the UPS site and use their shipping calculator to get a rough idea of cost to ship to your location.

 

Thank you,

 

Bruce
