Cool!  Got to love finding something sentimental, so much more value than can be explained.

I would carefully remove the tag, frame it , possibly with an image of the plant or family members and hang it beside the machine.

It may have been redone at the plant... If you gave it a good outside cleaning and waxing how would it look?... if it was a 8 or better
I may leave it alone but completely restore the inside to keep from deteriorating any further... get a couple vintage cases of bottles to
stack beside it would make a great display.
Again great story.
