Meet the Queen!
This sewing machine was produced sometime about 1900 by the Davis Sewing Machine Company for A.G. Mason.The treadle irons resemble the Davis irons. From what information I can find on the Internet (not much!) the Davis Company was purchased by White Sewing Machine Company. So most references for this sewing machine are for a "White Queen Sewing Machine".

Above are the before cleaning pictures. I only used sewing machine oil to clean the machine head as the decals are very fragile. I sprayed the treadle irons with Triflow oil then wiped them down. I then used Hornsby Neutral Furniture Restore on the cabinet. The veneer needs some TLC on the top but that is a future project.
Here are the pictures after an oil spa bath. I hooked up the old treadle belt that came with her (needs a new one) and all systems are functioning. In the future I may gently apply a light coat of new shellac over the decals to protect them.
