Thanks for all your lovely comments. I just painted the rusty parts with Hammerite and picked out the word "Singer" in gold paint.

The potting table has Singer on both sides and on the foot treadle, (it's hard to see in the picture) I love these old machines and have four of them so far and all repurposed as something else. I have a further one that is in perfect working order. I just added an electric motor and electric foot pedal. It dates from the thirties and still has all its accessories in original box and it's original tube of machine oil. The packing slip from the facrory is still in the box!

This one was hauled from a skip in Portmarnock a couple of years ago by a friend of mine who "Saw this and thought of you" I must add a picture of it up here. It's a beauty!

UPDATE: Photos added
