i bought this sewing machine about 7 years ago off of ebay and went and picked it up near atl. i have never gave it a good cleaning since i bought it. other than the outside of the cabinet so it wont dry and become brittle. it may be just layers of dirt over the decals, or maybe they are just that faded. maybe its time i get to cleaning! it did come with a couple of attachements. i bought the key off of ebay so the drawers can lock. and a few bobbins came along with it to. i bought it from the original owners granddaughter. my husband tried it right after we bought it, and it does work. or did then.
