Careful with the WD-40 because it can ruin decals if the surface clearcoat is damaged. Sewing machine oil is better for slow gentle cleaning, and TriFlow is recommended by many here for lubrication. Your machine is lovely. I'm fairly sure I saw a Paveway treadle on EBay a few years ago. Maybe there is some info on the company in the description. Just do a search under "completed listings".

Wow, that's unbelievably gorgeous. It's made by National? I agree about the WD40 -- test in an inconspicuous area. The experts seem to recommend dishwashing liquid or castile soap for the decals and painted parts. If you lose the clear coat the decals will soon wear off. Does it sew? Porcelain handle? Congrats on your fantastic find!
