Joe, how do you get the Singer decals to look so good? My crinkle 66-18 (1946) decal is not as vivid as yours. Plus I can't get the decal on top of the arm to show at all. I saw it in a certain light, but seems like it vanished.

Mrs Finch,
I clean my crinkle machines with sewing machine oil and a soft cloth. That works for me, others use other methods. The oil cleaning seems to bring out the decals.
Also my camera seems to pick up the reflective nature to the decals and increase their brilliance.

I think it might be a White Rotary Model 43. According to my records, there was a twin to it called the White Domestic Rotary 151, so maybe it’s a 151.
CD in Oklahoma
ETA: The serial number will tell you. It should start with either 43X or 151X......
Here's a 151X....

I stumbled upon this machine this past weekend. I am pretty sure the paint job is original, but I have never seen anything like it before. It is badged as a New Home, Rockford, Illinois.
I'd love to clean it up and get it running now, but there are several other machines in the queue ahead of it.

here is my collections of lil monsters, the one in the middle is a centennial, the one in the back sews really nicely and the one in the front is a hodge podge but I think it looks nice.
