Yes, Pearl looks good as new with her new paint job, but I have a question, does she work?

Absolutely! Once I got her cleaned up, oiled and greased---(and bobbin loose from rust)-she purrs......such a nice even straight stitch. I just love these machines.....

We have a hen I named "Pitiful Pearl" because she has what looks to be a ruptured crop and it looks somewhat like a large goiter. She was always kind of shunned by the other hens and so was a loner. Funny thing is, she is now about five years old, still lays an egg about three times a week, ( she lays green eggs, so we know they are hers), and the rest of that original flock are all gone but one other.
I agree with Murphy and you did an awesome job making her respectable.

You did a great job with her!!! You are right, Billy is so helpful in restoring the Iron Ladies.
