    I didn't know domestic free arms were produced that early. Both are beautiful machines.

    They must be running low on Featherweights to repaint. There were enough of those machines made that custom painting them isn't that big of a deal.
    I have a White rotary in bad shape that I will probably paint a color other than black. If a paint job keeps a machine in service instead of being scrapped, it's not a bad thing.

    I agree with you Rodney, but to repaint machines in volume like this person does isn't saving them, it's purely for the money.
