QUESTION: Hi Irene,
This machine had some flower pattern (possibly green/gold color).
No identification I can see, except number on the plate and another number on the bottom of the machine. I am sending the photos to the provided e-mail.
Hello Gala,
I jut opened my Yahoo mail this morning and found your other photos. Then I found your email telling me that you had managed to find your machine on your own.
I'm so pleased that you now have the information for your little toy sewing machine.
Regards,
Irene

Expertise
I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
