I like that Coronado and the two Steve is showing are nice too.

The Eastern provinces have some great stuff. I think the western provinces might be a bit young for the truly interesting machines. I was drooling and miserable at the same time when I was in Montreal in May. Found a gorgeous one a few blocks from my hotel but had no way to get it home or materials or knowledge of the city and shipping companies or, if I'm truthful - the time to get it packed up properly to get it back home.

If it says "Made in Germany," my guess is Messerschmitt: http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...e-t184878.html

But if it says "Made in Italy," my guess is Vigorelli.

Thanks NapaJohn! Part of me wants to email the seller to find out but I wouldn't be goung after it so it's not really fair to them.

As far as the Top Hat cams are concerned, I saw a listing on e-bay, 50 of the cams for something like $65. Obviously, there were some duplicates, but that was a good price. If I'd had the extra $$$$$ I would have bought the whole thing, but I really don't have a use for that many!

You know, I wanted to collect all of those cams at one time and I do have 0 - 23 and 51 - 59 but then I realized I don't really use them... My 411G which is the only Slant-O-Matic I kept has all of them built in, I actually use my Pfaff for most mending and utility stitching and I don't do decorative stitching... still, like my Singer Sewing Reference Library, it's nice to have them in case I do decide to use them.

I like to use the cams when I decorate a jeans skirt. Some times the DGKs like to test them out, too. But normally I just use a Singer 15-75.

ok, THIS wins the prize for most creative use of a sewing machine for something other than sewing....
