I don’t know any family history on the treadle. The Elna I have is early 80s and was my Grans. Don’t care about the lack of fancy stitches. It’s innards are mostly metal so it’s a tank! Wouldn’t mind an auto buttonhole thing, I suck st those

Reminds me of an "optical bench". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_table
