Museum is looking at acquiring two sewing machines.  I am researching
these machines and need more information.  If you know of an expert on
sewing machines, sewing machine history, various late 19th century Singer
models and their appraisal, or of a good book on the subject, please
contact me via email.

The specific machines I am looking at are...
1.  Treadle sewing machine, pat. Oct. 16, 1886, Singer Manufacturing Co.
Asking price: $300 (I need to know if this is reasonable) and to get more
information on such sewing machines.

2.  Cutaway of Singer sewing machine, no. 13080Z13, Diehl Mfg. Co.,
Elizabeth, NJ. Pat. Dec. 25, 1888 - Nov. 12, 1889, Dec. 17, 1889, Apr. 22,
1890. I need more information.
