I fell in love with this machine, as soon as I saw it on ebay. The clean lines, the “atomic style” shape, unlike any other machine I’d seen before. Designed in Switzerland, and made in Holland, circa 1950s.
For under $100 (including interstate postage), I think I got a bargain!
The machine arrived in its own little suitcase, decked out with leather straps inside to hold the pedal, the extension table and a cute little green bakelite box of attachments.
I spent a day cleaning her (the suitcase was full of rat droppings)…….
…..and now I own a seriously good – looking machine – even the foot pedal is attractive!
For a simple, straight-stitching machine, it has quite an array of extra feet, and dropping the feed-dogs is as simple as flicking a lever.
