My # says 1956 for AnnieRose. I scrubbed the machine wirh Oxiclean, rinsed it well and dried it quickly. I think she lived with a smoker in her prior life. If I weren't thinking of painting her, I'd use a coat of car wax to make her shine. You need Singer or Triflow grease for the parts that are greased annually and oil for everything else that moves or might move. These little girls arrive thirsty.
