What is this "modern" sewing machine? Vibrating shuttle? with zig zag?
 

I've never seen a machine like this. From the picture of the underside it appears to be a vibrating shuttle. And it seems to have zig zag. And it looks small. I copied a couple of pictures in case the link breaks.

well, i can tell you the shuttle mechanism is called a "whittler" mechanism. My Anker has the same type.

This looks like a cool machine, if its a good price and has all the parts, I would pick this up just for the look.

Interesting. Thanks. Maybe this machine is German. I found your picture in the machine shop thread

I don't have access to the needlebar link you posted but I found something in their archives

The description says it has the "bobbin casing" and I see some bobbins in the tin box, but I would email and double check that the shuttle is there.
