Good find at a commuity wide yard sale
I love when a whole neighborhood has a sale, lol. You never know what you will find. Of course, my dh does wonder about some of the things I pick up, until I explain what they are used for.
This is not coming inside until I can strip the cover and batting off and replace it. It is made of iron.
This one just needs to have the cover thrown in the washer, and I will put on new padding.
And there was NO WAY I was passing this up....now, if I just had a manual to tell me how it works, lol. It does run.

I've seen a similar machine on this forum but tried to quickly search for you, and didn't find it. If you took the time you might find the original posting & they might be able to suggest a place to download a manual.

I know they didn't have the manual, and I bought it at a huge community sale. If they ever found it, we would not be able to find each other. I know that there are a couple others on the board who have this machine, if they see it, maybe they have a manual. It is in line to be cleaned up right after another little Japanese model. This is a Swiss made machine, btw, and probably really well made. It had nice accessories with it. I love that the carrying case folds down into a sewing table.

It's an ELNA grasshopper, 1939 or 1940, Swiss made, the case folds out to a sewing table. The accessory box clamps right onto the machine. It is really a nice machine, and probably their version of the featherweight. I could not resist buying it when I saw it sitting there. The cords are all in great shape.
Laugh if you like, but just looking at the little thing makes me smile,lol.

I know he thought I was crazy when I handed him the ironing boards. I paid $1 for the small one, $3 for the big one. I told him what they were for, and what it would cost me to buy one elsewhere, and imagine the shipping on an iron one. I did look up the small ones before, and they wanted $15 and shipping.
