If your machine is NOT this model, Cathy (whose handle is Macybaby) and a Moderator on this forum, is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to identifying a machine, much more than I am. I will get that info and send you a pm with locating information. If your machine is like this, it requires a Davis Long needle, and there is a member of this forum, whose name is Jon from whom I purchased some Davis Long Needes. Let me check your photo against mine and if they're the same, I'll send you the manual, or we can get it posted in the Manuals section of this forum. That machine is exactly like the head I bought for my cousin - check the pillar on the right-hand side as you face the machine - the one I have is a Minnesota Model A, and I'll see if I can attach a photo - I have a manual that was very kindly furnished to me by a member on another forum.

I also need to learn what type of needles it takes and where is the best place to find them. It was my grandmother's, and I inherited it almost 10 years ago. It does sew, needs a good cleaning/oiling, and I would estimate it hasn't been used in about 25 years.
The letter on the bottom of the plate is an E (not very clear in the photo).
I can't find any identifying information on the machine except what is on the plate (see photo) and the 'Minnesota' across the top. I would also like to get an idea of the manufacture date and find a manual. I need help trying to identify the specific model of my Sears Minnesota treadle sewing machine. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or not, but I'm hoping someone can help me or direct me to someone who can.
