Hey, curious about something. I've seen plenty of pictures of those old machines with a piece of cloth wrapped around them, like your icon. My friend's machine has that too, with pins in it. Is it some sort of homemade pincushion?
That's right! It was a pincushion. When I got mine, the "rag" was still full of pins and needles, and it looked like it came from the local service station after being used to wipe oil off of everyone's car. And, of course, the finish behind that rag was all scratched up. Deep scratches.
