I was gifted a Davis VF2 last summer. The Kansas City Sewing Machine Co. "fixed it up" at some point. The black paint, and just about everything else, was covered in thick brown crinkle finish paint. I have found paint even surrounding the stitch length knob. The handwheel is completely coated except for the clutch knob. Globs of paint hang off of the backside. Of course, they are next to the chunks that are completely missing brown paint and the black shows through.

What is the history of this place? What on earth were they thinking?!?

This poor thing had been sitting on damp concrete, in its case, for decades. The case bottom is being rebuilt so that I can use the machine. The rest of it was frozen up with rust. Yes, it is now to the point where I can attempt to sew once the case bottom can hold it up. I can't wait to actually quilt with it!
