The singer site says the F series was manufactured in Clydebank, Scotland in 1913 so don't know which is right. It is the lotus blossom and some of the blossoms on the back were completely covered in grime. spent hours uncovering them but they are all there...what should I call her, "ressurrection"....will really enjoy her, belt is next and she will be up and running.
You did a really nice job cleaning her up. My Lotus is Hilda named after my aunt from Germany and so is my Lotus 1908 Wittenberg Germany or Prussia back then. You will love sewing with her. glenn
