Yep...that is an India/Indian star variation. Kind of neat, the points of the star apparently have writing on them, but I'm not sure what it is supposed to say. I've heard they were made for export, but again I'm not sure. I haven't found any specific information online about them, just pictures. Adds something a little different to the machine. :)

Thanks Bennet. I will be able to see more when the bed is cleaned. All I can see now is the Singer name in the middle.

Lovely machine. Very unique cabinet. Will be beautiful when refinished.

I did a little Internet searching and yes, the bed decal is called Indian Star. After a little cleaning (quite a bit really), the writing on the star points appear to be in Indian script or Arabic. It would be interesting to find out what the writing means or if it is just decorative.
