I thought it wasn't ok to sell things here.

I believe that the bobbin winder tension is on sideways. There's no way a bobbin could be wound with it like that. The edge of it would cut the thread.

My thoughts too Miriam. Maybe it's just us that can't do it. I'm not trying to buy it, I just wanted to see what it looks like.

Of course you're right. Time for a cup of coffee, I guess.

You're not really selling if you just hint a lot. (a-hem)

I love the face plate! If I lived closer, I would want it for sure.

Thank you so much for the pictures, pretty little machine. I have seen those bobbin winder guides in that spot on some machines, makes it weird to wind a bobbin.

Miriam, since only a few of the "old crew" come here now, I think the Mods aren't paying a lot of attention. Not worth the effort for only a few posts a day LOL!!

To Cari and everyone else. Thank you to Cari for helping me on posting the pictures of this unidentifiable machine. If there is a rule of "nothing for sale " to be posted, I am sorry as I plead ignorance. I am not posting this machine as "for sale" only responding to a question. I VERY much appreciate everyone's input regarding my machine.
Thank you, Sophie
