I don't have any info on either of your machines, but just wanted to say what a "marvelous" face plate on the butterfly machine. I want to follow you around while you are shopping!! Don't suppose you are giving out your sources??

These were both on craigslist, Portland - actually located in Kelso, WA. I wouldn't have gone that far but I was following a butterfly... and DH agreed to stop by Fabric Depot on the way home!

Hey Billy,

I found another "Princess". But she's white:> http://sacramento.craigslist.org/for/1862676984.html He said he'd come down a bit after I told him I just got a pink one for $20. But, since I've not been able to get mine up and going, I don't think I'll get another. But it's funny how two popped up closely together. This one may be in better condition than my pink one...

Anyone know anything about either of these???

Modern reproduction.

Hey Dunster I think you have a "Made in India" machine on your hands. I need you to take the faceplate off and see if there is a trade mark behind it. I think I know the company that made that machine and if I am right I have buried in this stack of papers a sales brochure from that company with your machine in it. And it was offered in several different colors including Red!!

I didn't find anything behind the faceplate. The top of the machine says made in People's Republic of China...

Well then.....I know I have a brochure for the Butterfly machines because I recognize the shape of the badge. It must be from an Indian Distributor or something because it came with a bunch of documents I picked up from a friend in India.

Miss a day, miss a lot!

Doug, I hope your surgery went okay. Will be praying for a swift recovery.

It is so neat seeing all the vintage machines! Thanks for sharing pics, and educating all of us as you find out about your machines.

Anna, I don't know what a red eye 66 is? \

Ok Billy I will check out that screw, but from my picture is that wire spring suppose to rest on the little rest that sticks out from the tension disk like mine does-- or is the spring wire suppose to go beneath that stop thing?
