Default Picked up a Singer 128 'La Vencedora'

This machine dates to 1922 and is about 25-30 years too late for my collection, but it is OK since it is for my DD who was using a VERY tired 128 "Sphinx".

The machine was in great shape but dirty and a bit scuffed, (not scratched) so I used a "risky" process on the entire exterior. (NO, I am not sharing in public the process, it is REALLY easy to screw up a machine using it)

However, in the right circumstances it can really make a machine "pop"

With about 30 minutes of cleaning the main underneath mechanisms and inside the face, she spins like new.

I really like this decal set. I want a 1901 or earlier version in this condition... (HAHAHA)
