1868 MOP Singer 12
#11
I had wondered about them being hand painted as they aren't uniform. Interestingly, the green dots and yellow arrow type shape seems to still be there, but all the scroll work is what's worn off. For most of the machine, I can tell where is was because of the outline in the shellac that went around the paint when it was top coated.
I really like the machine, but am thinking the cabinet may be better off with someone who collects items of this age. For now it's safely tucked into a corner in my bedroom.

Nice machine Macybaby.
You guys coming up with these MOP machines makes me want to dig out my only MOP machine and see if I can get it going. It’s not even close to being in the same ballpark as the ones discussed here lately, but it qualities as a MOP. It’s a Frister & Rossman Transverse Shuttle Hand Crank from around the turn of the century with snowflake inlays.
