Our Mission: To build a large database of vintage treadle machine manufacturers, and the products they designed and built.
Grinders Treadle.
Treadle grinders.
Treadle grinders where made by several manufacturers all over the world.
Sometimes the shapes where the same or look the same, maybe they where made by one manufacturer and then branded with the sellers name.
On this page are only the unknown ones.
Do you recognise the mark on the treadle, let us know so we can give this beautiful machine a name.
ORIGINAL GRINDSTONE ON CAST IRON BASE.
ALL MECHANISMS ARE STILL FULLY FUNCTIONAL. THE GRINDSTONE IS DRIVEN BY A FOOT PEDAL, AND STILL RUNS TRUE AND SMOOTH. A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF THINGS MADE TO LAST.
THE DIAMETER OF THE STONE IS 31 inches (80cm), and 4"(10cm) THICK.
And we also have the hardware to make it yourself.
