    I don't think those drawer pulls were Singer standard issue either.

    I love this one too! Would like to know the scoop behind it

    update:
    After research Al Faraj Est, this is a 'trading' company in Dubai for sewing machine (Janome?), and the Craigslist ad states that the machine may be a reproduction? Sure is purty tho
