So the ones from Sew-Classic have funky Chinese decals on them?
Mine is on my Lotus 66 which looks very strange. I'm thinking of repainting it one day. I really don't use the HC very much; it will be one machine to take to a TOGA. Although, I would rather do more work by packing up one of my treadles to take to a TOGA since I prefer treadling over using the HC.

Just yesterday I picked up an early Franklin with the fancy decals. I thought it was by Domestic, but I need to dig deeper, maybe its a Davis?. It looks just like a Singer model 27. It came with the original attachments and owners manual. I also have a Minnesota model D by Davis.

That machine is very nice, but what I'm really drooling over are the attachments and manual....Good work!

Your machine really looks nice. What part of VA are you in? We live close to the VA line on the WV side. About 50 miles from Roanoke. We bought a Franklin that could be your sister.

Well, as beautiful as your machine is, I think I would rather rescue a cast off cab, or treadle. I just want to "mother" it, give it some TLC and bring it in from the cold. Maybe I can get mine to look as nice as yours.
