Default I assume this is a reproduction - am I right?

Are they still making Singer repros in England? Because this is a lovely machine and that's where the person says it came from:

That's what I figured. Thank you! It is beautiful, though. I'm kind of tempted by it.

Try it out first. Some folks think the nostalgia/repro machines run a bit roughly. Definitely different decals!

Keep in mind - this one is NOT a Singer, and not produced by someone else for Singer. It's just made to look a lot like the more recent production Singer 15's (they are still in production).
