I know that right now Billy is not well but if you go to the area for the vintage machines you should be able to get the information your looking for on cleaning and anything else. It's a very informative area to check if you have a vintage machine. BTW she is a beauty.

I wouldn't use anything but sewing machine oil to clean it with...looks like the decals are exposed (i.e., the shellac is gone)
CUTE machine...if you get tired of it, send it my way, wouldja? :lol: ;)

Lucky you! I have a couple of old toy machines, none as pretty as yours. I know in Billy's tut for vintage singers he uses a pumice free hand cleaner (can't think of the name) and cotton balls/q tips. Test on a small corner first.

Thanks for the info. She found it in Alabama when she was on vacation. so glad she thought of me! I will use some sewing machine oil and see if i can clean her up a bit.

which there were numbers or something under her..she is going to need an old fashioned name...lol
