Wow, Thanks for sharing. These machines must have some interesting stories!

Very fortunate! Happy you are going to cherish and love this piece of history! You could start a museum with those treasures! Wonder if there is a museum that has antiques like this on display?

This is my 1903 Singer Model 27 treadle. It has pheasant decals and a 7 drawer wood cabinet with lotus blossom design. I love this one and have used it.

Actually he used a product called Purple Power and WD 40. Along with a soft cloth. Purple power is something like 409. Gentle cleaning should not harm the decals. It usually takes him several hours to clean the oil off one of these machines
