Very interesting. Don't think it would be a redeye, similar but not. Nice machine though.

Those decals are the La Vencedora decals, not the Redeye decals.

Does it look like it was a crank converted? 127? 128? It's in Tucson. I might go for it. Doesn't look like it has a foot pedal but all the others I found on the net were hand cranks.

It's a 128, and it's possible that it was sold as an electric machine. With the spoked handwheel, you could crank it...if you can find a cabinet that it will fit into, could also be treadled.

I have one with those decals and I think that they are really pretty. I took the motor off and I'm going to add a hand crank to it. I have a little base that it will sit in.

If I was close I would buy it, I would hand Crank it and my DH would make Her a Base.
