Picked up a Davis on Tuesday
I did put oil in the oil holes and underneath on Tuesday, then left it sit. Did some research on it the last few days, very interesting history and was pleased to find out it uses a 15x1 needle! Believe it's from 1918? Well I have a chance to work on it today and it's up and running great. The case is in good shape, just need to put either Liquid Gold or Old English on it, not sure which I should use yet, any thoughts?
It came with the manual (so if anyone needs a copy let me know) it the one with the bottom feed, 6 bobbins, screw driver and many feet. Will post a few pictures but sorry not the best will try to take a few better ones later and post them.

caroloto - so happy you posted these pics! I just picked up my Davis and it has the same decal on the bed but unfortunately mine only has the flag left . I was wondering what it would have looked like. Thanks so much for sharing!
