I purchased this a while back at a yard sale from a lady that later became a good friend.Isn't it odd??

Very retro.

Have you done any research about it? Looks very interesting.

I found one on ebay. It has the case and lots of feet. It is going for $175. They are from the 1950's. Looks like you a treasure.

That is such a cute machine!

very odd...and just has the most basic functions...

I thought Bell invented the telephone...okay, just kidding.

Great find. I learned to sew on a green sewing machine. It was an Elna and was a real workhorse of a machine.

I know this one is an odd ball but it was so cute and unusual that I just couldn't resist it.I collect the toy Singer featherweights and I just wanted to add this one to my collection.It is the first green machine that I have ever seen that small.
