I found this wonderful little video, posted on the Vintage Singer's Yahoo group. It shows the decals being applied at Singer's Kilbowie plant around 1934:

It's pretty neat to see how our beautiful old gals received their decals.

Very interesting, it looks like it would be a very boring and tedious job but am glad someone did it. Thanks for the post.
