Gritzner made White
 

While reading about the history of the German made Kenmores, the writer mentioned that a (maybe more than 1?) White badged machine was made by Gritzner. Which one was it?

First time I read about the link between Gritzner and Kenmore (White) was this blog, a Kenmore 117.841. I have actually seen a few Gritzners, and here is a German blog with pictures of what probably is the origin of this model (...there are always predecessors as far as origins go, it goes on an on lol). According to the first blog; Gritzner was bought up by Pfaff and look at Pfaff 139 and 239. When googeling for example pictures, I bumped in to yet a blog, and this guy has done some work on this already.

I noticed a White All-Stitch Zig-Zag, almost identical to a Gritzner VZ. The VZ again looks pretty close to a Mundlos Victoria I have been looking for, these are models made from the 1920s until around WWII, a few was still made up until around 1950.

This green Gritzner is very close to the black White machine ;- )

It's a very neat machine - one reason DH and I couldn't pass it up when we found it at the Y's Buys store.

That green Gritzner is very similar to my early Bernina 117L ~ down to the color.
