I have to ask: Are those noses the same as a 15 or 15 clone? They look like they could be but I'm guessing they're smaller.

The noses are the same. The bobbins are the same. The slide plate and throat plate are the same. Inside is another story.

so where and when were they made? that's pretty interesting. I could make a wooden shell or ...

I must say that even though I don't need or have room for another machine, if I saw these for sale out and about I would definitely go for them. They are beautiful machines .... at least now that you have them all clean and pretty. Do they sew as good as they look?

miriam

They sew quite well for a toy sewing machine. I would not want to put them to heavy use though.

Well Miriam,
I just came home with my own Cinderella. It says Special 1953 Model on the front, no rust, hardly any lint, but dry and no foot controller. Someone cut off the wires to the motor about a foot from it. It may need a new tension spring, but I have a bobbin case and bobbin, so hopefully she'll at least sew by handy in a little bit.

My Cinderella has a cut cord, too and no foot controller. The Countess had a TON of dried grease and some not so dried. Take her clothes off and clean and oil. The tension spring from a clone will do the job. Both cases are terrible. Someone re-covered one here sometime ago. It looked pretty snazzy.
