poison ivy is not as weepy as yesterday - kind of crusty though

Here are two machines we got this week.
The first one is a Davis it didn't have a date but the serial # is 2751431. The 2nd one DH got because he likes fiddle base machines. It is a Singer VS2 dated 1889. This machine is sitting on our new Singer Red Eye. Haven't taken a pic of it yet.

Looks like someone started to clean part of the Davis NVF at one time and the decals turned silver. Sad to see that. I would just clean it up with sewing oil from this stage on. I find the Davis machines and the Two Spools have issues with the protective coating damaging over the years. These machines a extremely sensitive to chemicals when cleaning. What worked the best for me has been just cleaning them with sewing oil.
Very nice finds. If you haven't worked with the Davis NVF, you will enjoy your binding work and quilting.
Enjoy!

It a package of what looks like edible oatmeal that you dissolve in warm bath water. If it gets worse - Medrol pack from your doc.
I'm allergic too and both kids. We used to get it from our golden retriever when she would go over the hill and then come home and swish that big tail on our legs. Took us a while to figure out how we were getting it and hadn't been in the weeds!!
Hope ya dry up soon!

Miriam, misery loves company. I either got into something or was bitten by something Friday night and have all your symptoms, plus 8 pounds of retained fluid. I know exactly when it happened, but I was in a mowed area so I suspect a bite or bites. I have to do the grandmother of the bride thing Friday. I haven't figured that one out yet.
Good and bad news. Bad news first, still looking for a part (Shuttle Bell Crank #8444) for the Singer 127 but things are looking up.
Called a CL ad for 2 machine heads for $10 and one looked like a Singer 27. The part I need is not the same on the 27 as the 127 so that part didn't work out.
The other machine is a Singer 66. Both are frozen and all the plated parts are rusted. But the decals on the 66 Redeye are very nice.
since I am going to try and get at least the 66 sewing again, they gave them both to me for FREE!!!
Oh well, more machines to clean and practice on.
