The company that originally made the belt for the treadle sewing machine can provide a new belt. Look for the name of the manufacturer on your treadle machine, and if that company is no longer in business, inquire of the Singer company that may be able to provide a similar belt.
The Demarest treadle machine was made in Williamsport, PA
If the serial number has a letter prefix or suffix, the machine was made in 1900 or after. In this case, the "H" denotes that the sewing machine was made in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and the numbers mean it was made in 1906. The Singer Web site has this information. The worth is very dependent on its condition and its setting.
I have a treadle sewing machine from the 1920's and found a serial number on it and 'Singer' made this particular sewing machine. I phoned the sewing machine company and gave them the serial number. Unfortunately, the sewing machine was not worth much (it was in working order.) You have to be very wary when dealing with companies who put out the product and also the next step is going to an antique dealer with a picture of the sewing machine and the date it was made, but again I stress, be wary. You could also put your information onto: www.google.com Do your research and see what your sewing machine is worth. Then go to an antique dealer.
