Default Would you think this could be saved?

Here is a Franklin Sewing Machine that a friend asks my husband to take a look at and see if anything could be done to make it workable again. Well, after many hours of using lots of different products and plenty of elbow grease he was able to turn it into something of a beautiful machine. It was so rusted when he got it that I didn't see how in the world he could get it to work. The hand wheel would not turn, bobbin area was rusted and other parts were unmovable, but somehow he has gotten it to work. I haven't tried to sew anything on it because I do not know how to thread the bobbin but the main thing is that it does work and the decals are in pretty good shape. I have a movie of the machine running but I am not sure I can post it on this forum. Is this a work of art or not?
