This W&W No. 9 has a gold decal on the arch of the treadle base that matches the decal on the sewing machine. Neither has "BRIDGEPORT, CONN. USA" on the decals on later machines, including the W&W No. 9 "D-9"
The irons were so black on this old treadle machine that at first the decal on the base did not even show up -- not a glint. But when I started rubbing with GoJo and a cotton ball, the decal became apparent. I stopped cleaning when I started getting diminishing results.
The cabinet was cleaned with Murphy's Oil Soap and 0000 steel wool. Howard Restor-A-Finish was applied, sometimes with the steel wool. I ironed the veneer a bit. Then a finishing coat of Howard Feed-N-Wax was applied. I still have the coffin top to restore, and I am starting to tackle the machine head --slowly and carefully.

The lower decal magically appeared.
