Okay, okay, I hear you. But I think there's not much difference between what was done to this machine and repainting a FW. Not just for the sake of repainting, but to take an old worn machine and make it pretty again as well as functional. I don't know enough about industrials to even know the decals were wrong. Thinking about it more, I'm starting to agree with you. An industrial workhorse should look tough, not pretty.

That picture makes me sad. I would love however to be able to pick what I wanted from the pile.

A treadle with parts to be reassembled and with a motor - thus needs rewiring

This is not a sewing machine but I thought it was really interesting to study the pics and understand how it worked.
