Default What have I bought now!? Bernina?

Up until now I have collected old Singer machines but I bought this Bernina beauty at a vide grenier sale in France this summer for 20 Euros. I have no idea what model it is or how old it is... But it does work! Does anyone have any ideas? It now sits pride of place in my retreat center but has yet to be identified!

I thought maybe it was a very special "trick" machine. LOL
Looks like you found a good one.

Looks like it was well taken care of - you were lucky to find it.

Probably a 114, at least something very close.

Great find! Looks like it was well taken care of or rarely used.
