Most of us have refinished trundle sewing machines. Generally,

there isn't much you can do with the stand except clean it,

de-rust, and paint.

 

The enclosed photos are of a stand from a 1910 "Red Eye"

Singer. While cleaning it, I noticed remnants of brass paint or

plating on the decorative parts. Rather than re-paint in brass,

I used Liberon's Chantilly gilt cream. I wiped it on with my

finger over the raise portions. This offered good control and

took just a few minutes to accomplish. I then sealed it with

2 coats of gloss lacquer from a spray can.
