we have many antique singers now.. this one just added to the collection..
we have many attachments for the others.
after much looking last night they are decals but however they are in wonderful shape.
we do have a singer serial number on it.. it is not a clone.

I think its really neat. Especially since you found one here that was made in Japan and states that it was. It is in beautiful condition no matter what the age. I am interested to see what more info you come up with
Wouldn't it be neat to collect a machine from every place they were made?

on the bottom of the base of case there is a loop.. my dh and I are still thinking it was used as an industrial machine and that this was used to anchor it? what do you think? if you can see on the motor it is all in japanese and the case has the wording KOYO on it.
