This one has some interesting decals. I have seen this decal (Greek motif) somewhere once when looking at machine decals, but I can't recall where right now. But not on a Singer VS2. I don't think this was the original decals, looks like decals for different time period, 30's or 40's.

This machine has been redone sometime in its life. Usually they will remove the badge but this could well have been a factory authorized dealer and the customer picked through a catalog of decals that they really liked. At one time I had some sheets of these aftermarket decals (several different designs) but somebody wanted them more than I did so they dropped a rather large sum of money in my pocket to take them off of my hands. I imagine I will find more as I buy out these OSMG's so I am not that worried.

This makes sense now. I'm still trying to recall where I saw this decal motif. I googled images but haven't found it yet, but I do know that I have seen this decal on at least one younger machine, 66 or 15.
