Pheasant/Quail Decal Singer FS in NJ

Sorry- can't seem to post a link. On cnj.craigslist.org (central NJ) May 9th there is an ad for a Singer sewing machine (Monroe TWP) for $175. It's a treadle with nice Pheasant/Quail decals, light rust on the chrome. Overpriced with a greenish yellow glazing on the cabinet, but those decals in decent condition are hard to find. Ser # H1222753.

That is very nice! Someone used one of those "antiqueing" kits to paint the cabinet. Too bad. But the machine is great!

Actually I initially thought the case had been done after market, but Singer did make them that way. I've seen a few others with the same garish hardware and streaked stain job.
