Calanda michine
 
I found a vintage Calanda machine today in a beautiful cabinet. can anyone help me with information on the machine? It appears to be made in Switzerland prior to Pfaff taking over the corporation. i am curious if I can find an instruction book or parts.

How interesting - I'm a fan of old Pfaffs, but have never heard of a Calanda sewing machine.

Would love to see a photo?

Does this look like the Calanda sewing machine you found? Googled and found this one

Pfaff was made in Germany....

Caroline- I found this one too. The one I'm interested in is much older than the one Googled.

I found out a lot about "calanda"....towns, mountains, and all kinds of things in Europe, but nothing about the sewing machine! Lol

I would guess it was made by a German manufacturer who thought "Calanda" was a nice name for a sewing machine. Picture is needed and even then the German or European makers can be tough to ID.
