Sphinx, from what I have seen there are 3 different design's of this one...

no yarn to spin on this one. I will say to paid more than most would have, but I had to have one. upon seeing it at 10 feet you could not tell what the decals where. at 2 feet you could see a part of the head and tip of a wing...

This machine was a lacquer thinner, sand paper, rubbing compound, and a complete tear down, by that I mean every shaft and bushing came out, it was a grease ball inside, Then the kitchen sink, every silver part took an acid bath. in other words I do everything they say to not do...

I've been cleaning dirty rusted car parts for 50+ years, these machines are not a bit different to clean...
what looks silver is, at the bottom of the column the decal is a bit silver that was done using palmolive dish soap, before it was nothing but that nasty brown stain

I don't have a spare singer cabinet so she will be a looksee machine, plus it doesn't have a motor mount
