Alyce,
No it's not true, and seeing's how that was the only post she ever made, I don't think she was here very long. Sewing machines were first japanned, then went to a heavy enamel paint.
And Nelco machines were Japanese made and not affiliated in any way with the Italian Necchi's other than being imported by the same distributor until Necchi canned him for it.
