Weedwoman, is it a color or black? How do you like to sew with the Diamond? You know that after WW2, Japan with money from the US, manufactured a lot of sewing machines. Supposedly, most of those machines were cloned after Singer's Model 15 and 99. These machines are suppose to be very well made and some say smoother running than the Singers they copied? They come in metallic blue, green, pink, yellow, and fire engine red! I want one of each color!

It's black and I haven't sewn with it yet cause it's in the wrong cabinet style to put a belt on to treadle. We pulled the tail off when we got it and cleaned it up no noticing the holes were in the wrong place for belt to go through cabinet.
