no touch ups coming and the seat looks more ragged than it is, so I will keep treating it, but not add more color back into it.

there are lots of pretty Singers out there, so I will keep the old scars on this one, especially since it was literally rescued from the garbage and that is a significant part of the history of the bike. I took the rusty chrome off as it was functionally lacking and possibly had structural issues as well.
