Mine apparently had years of wear as most of the gold is rubbed off. But there is some on the back still. I have it in the corner of the room so it was hard to get a photo of the back. It's a neat machine! According to the Sewsalot site, mine was born in 1900. Hope these pictures come out right, always have trouble getting them on.
