No, that is an old green SuperMatic. Nice old machine; takes cams and makes a good stitch.
The "Grasshopper" is the straight stitch Elna #1. I have one of those, too, and should haul it out and take a picture one of these days. Both the Super and Grasshopper came in metal cases that could be used as a table for the machine--they even have a cutout for the free arm.
Well it is sure pretty.
It sews like a dream. If you ever see one do not pass it up if it is affordable. DH said that it takes the Singer low shank attachments I think.
You must be as bad as I am about buying old sewing machines. Have you seen a Singer 185? they are so cute but they weigh a ton!
Yep seen them but not in person. That one has my name on it too. LOL It's green!
