Beautiful....bet this sews like a dream. I have an old 1950's Pinnock (made in Australia) and it is an absolute treasure. It knocks spots off my 20 year old Singer and can sew through anything.

What a find! But, having purchased my very first sewing machine in the 60's ( yes, I'm that old ), think it's older than the 60's. Do the books that came with it have any dates in them? I'm thinking late 40's to 50's. It's just a guess.
