There's a red sewing machine on <eBay.com.au> #150625794835 and also #260808321519 the latter doesn't have a power cable, but the main thing to remember is that our power is 240v so you would need a step-down transformer.

I have started looking at information on the vibrating shuttle/long bobbin, and am thinking the bobbin winder didn't really look like anything I had ever seen before - -
went to ebay, since my word search led me in that direction - - I paid $25 for it, and the sales yard makes it look like I got a good deal. I probably should go back to the person who sold it to me and have her tell me what history she knows of it.
This is all so exciting! LOL <wave>

I cannot believe my luck. The White Rotary was pictured in CL ad for $10 at garage sale on Saturday but would sell early. It mentioned that other sewing machines were available. When I called he didn't know what the other machines were but they were more modern Singers then the White. So I was thinking maybe a Touch and Sew or some other not so desirable machines. Well scroll down and see what I got!!

She came with a case and several feet. should have taken a pic. forgot.
She did not have a plug on her cord when purchased, but
for $179 I got that taken care of.
she has some wear on the front AND I have not investigated how to clean her up from that aspect.
She sews like a charm. Her name is CeCe

Edit: I just checked Singer serial # site: It's a 66K. 35,000 manufactured between Jan & Jun of 1919. Still waiting to hear back from seller.
Would those decals still have been in use on a machine in 1919?
