Sorry Christy, It was a quick glance. I could see it being a 60s machine, the badge is real, not the "sticker" I thought it was at the mach 5 glance. The feed dog control on the bed is very Japanese, and it even looks like a JA- number under the bed. Perhaps there were some early nostalgia type machines? I seem to remember someone telling me they got one in the 60s and I thought, no, that's a 70's / 80s machine because of the feed dog control. I can't remember what the dial was made of then though. The 15 is still made for some markets IIRC.
In other news, who do you suppose made this? It has an unusual look to it, I want to say Necchi... ? Elna?
