My pink atlas was purchased in 1959. I posted all 20 pages of the manual on my blog http://ataleoftwoquilters.blogspot.com/ in January 2014.

The underneath side looks to be fairly clean. It is a straight stitch machine. The case is an original pink and black one with the Atlas Decals on it. It is in really good condition. I can't find out anything about this machine. Does anyone on the board know when this machine might have been made? Was it manufactured by Brother as it seems to have some brother features. Does anyone know where I might get a manual or would a basic brother manual work? This machine is just beautiful.
Here is a link for your manual.
