Yes, it was originally black. It was stripped and repainted. I have seen them restored and painted in several colors: red, purple, green, blue and pink. There is currently a silver one up for auction on eBay.

I think I would be turned off by the silver one, for this reason. Much of the time when something is painted silver the silver tends to rub off on to other things. I would be afraid that the paint would rub off onto my fabric or garment when sewing , as it went over the plate and extension table. But maybe not. It always seems to me when I have dealt with silver paint in past years that it just doesn't seem to really dry like other paint does.
