Found this picture of another richmond. This is exactly what ours looks like decals and all. The word Richmond is worn off on ours but if I squint I can see where it used to be.

I have seen the same machine Badged in several different names. A Badged machine is basically a machine that is sold to different businesses by a large manufacturer where they put their own name and or decals on them with very little, if any, other changes. You could see the same machine with the Macy's name on it for an example. It sounds like it was sold to, and then by, a department store that put a name on it to their liking. Not exactly the same but very similar to my Windsor B. sold by Montgomery Wards.

Yes, regular sewing machine oil. Is the rust on the plated parts or painted parts?

It is on the silver parts, and on the silver part of the hand wheel. It may be on the painted too, but I think the painted parts are just dirty.
Post a picture when you are done. I would love to see it. ~G~ |

I would use Sewing Machine oil on the painted parts to begin with. Makeup pads are good to wipe with. The plated parts are more than likely Nickel plated. A metal polish that is safe for Nickel is what I would use to start with. I use a "Wadding Polish" made by Eagle One on my machines. I get it at an auto parts store for about $7.

Thanks. I will be sure to. Don't know when it will be though. My mom will want to help do it and she works. I am at home all day at the moment, and could work on it as much as I want. Just have to wait and see. Can't wait to get it looking nice again. It was my Great Grandmothers machine, Possibly handed down to her from her mother. Lots of family history in it.
