It depends on the age, I think. I have a flyer showing them in
a nice shiny white enamel. But mine has so many layers of gray paint
that I have never bothered to attempt to remove that. I wanted it to
*use*, not to look at -- in spite of the name connection. :-) Mine is
old enough so the name on the base casting is "The Whitney", and
"Nichols" only appears on a riveted on brass plate.

The name similarity is why I already had a manual (from eBay)
before I ever bid on the machine. :-)

Here is a little more Nichols mill trivia for you:
