Default First free-arm Sewing Machine

A real rarity: a member of our quilt group found this sewing machine on a flee-market: the first free-arm sewing machine manufactured between 1948 and 1952 in Germany!

This machine can be folded so that you have a little case to transport it!

If you are interested here is a little video about this machine: it's a program over here in TV where people can show their old treasuries to get information whether they are are worth or not...
The name of this machine: "FREIA" is the shortening of "FREIArm Nähmaschine"!
And I'm sorry but the video is in German....
