Heh! No matter, it looks way cool on the wall!!
Charlee, it seems kinda weird that the Singer emblem would be something Germans would want to cut out and make into decorations. I would think the German people would do that with a German made machine like the Pfaff or one of the other German companies? Maybe, your emblem was actually made for a decoration by Singer - or who ever cut it out did a great job then repainted it! Anyway, the emblem is really cool. That is something I can see that Billy would of wanted when he was decorating everything with Singer signs, etc..
