1894 Singer 27 with Persian Decals

 

     This past June I picked up this 1894 Singer 27 with Persian decals in Ohio.  It came in an oak 7 drawer treadle cabinet.  The machine was in very good condition but the cabinet needs to be refinished.  In this area of the country it's very difficult to find Persian decals in good shape.  Luckily, the decals on this machine are in very good condition.  There are a few japan chips and there is some very minor silvering of the decals but it's the best Persian decals I've seen in quite a while. Below are some pictures of the machine the day I purchased it.  

     Recently I finished cleaning the machine and it cleaned up pretty nicely.  I'm planning to refinish the cabinet but I have several other cabinets in line before this one.  So, I decided to move my Dogwood 27 back into it's original cabinet and put the Persian 27 in my DR01 cabinet so I can display it.  Below are pics of the cleaned up machine in the DR01 cabinet.  Enjoy!
