Stitch Craft

I finally made some time to work on a few projects and got this baby rewired and cleaned and was sure it would be somewhere on the inter-webs. Yet, I didn't find it on issmacs under the badged manufacturer nor the pics posted in the threads here, or anywhere! It is very unique and I thought we could play a game of guess what I am. I'll post the closeup of the unique aspect first then I'll keep adding more pics until I finally reveal the badge once no one guesses correctly.

Round stitch plate cover with a screw that pushes in to release it, also a round bobbin cover that pops up!

Stitch Craft

Right!. Very cool and unique.

Some sort of Bernina? I say this because our church group was just gifted with a Bernina 970 from late 60's -early 70's and it has a round cover plate.

Looks like it may be a plastic tension knob. Slide plate matches the base. I am guessing 1970s but no brand.

Stitch Craft

I see, well That's a logical guess and I have only seen a couple of round stitch plate machines but no, it's not a Bernina.

Stitch Craft

I agree that the knob for the tensioner is indeed some plastic or polymer (bakelight, casein, lucite-ish)

Is that a red light on the nose? That makes me think White or Universal, but I really have no idea!
