My sewing machine collection and restoration started some 20 years ago and now has got to a point where it is so large I no longer have the room so after restoration I try to find good homes for them keeping only the ones that are hard to find.
*******
This one below is a Vintage Elna #1 (aka Grasshopper)Swiss made sewing machine 1940-1952,this is a beautiful bit of swiss engineeringits, the carrying case is designed like an old ammunition box and acts as a table when fully opened, , even has a knee press to lift the foot, still has all it attachments a lovely machine and still in excellent working condition.
****************************************
Next is the Bernina Record It is a beautiful made machine and manufactured in approx 1960-1966 in Switzerland and this really is the Rolls Royce of all sewing machines.This machine is equipped with the 22 built in stitches, 16 of these are decorative and 6 are practical and also features the buttonhole. the best machine ever, if you can get one of these in working order you will not regret it, they a are worth every penny you would pay on the second hand market.This one is in a as new condition with all attachments and its case a must have for any collector.
