There is the Davis VF I bought from a man in Eagar, AZ, who had soaked it in a bucket of kerosene for several months before listing it on CL for $20. There is a Domestic–a cousin to Shield Maiden. Both sew very smoothly. There is an Eldredge Two Spool with sparse, silvered decals. And finally, a tan Singer 221 with good paint but a terrible mouldy odor, and I think a good soak in kerosene and repainting might be the only way to rid it of the smell.

Just what I need to get going on a customer's machine I'm hesitating to start. <br />I believe it is a Minnesota A with peeling paint and an ugly red primer underneath.

They just have too much value, and I think they deserve a finish closer to an automotive finish. I hope to build my skills some more before tackling the Featherweights, and then to use automotive paint rather than the more forgiving textured hammered paint.DragonPoodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167170431185422351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873280518345422701.post-78374084051530888212015-10-28T08:08:41.060-04:002015-10-28T08:08:41.060-04:00Sounds like funSounds like funAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594282663680601201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873280518345422701.post-77235019478255252692015-10-28T08:08:14.431-04:002015-10-28T08:08:14.431-04:00Sounds like funSounds like funAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594282663680601201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873280518345422701.post-28897808485013379732015-10-28T02:03:15.564-04:002015-10-28T02:03:15.564-04:00Oh wow, I would love to join in!
