OK first I love your find, it's beautiful
Second I have a question. I bought a 128, 2 weeks ago, in a case just like yours, I am also in Canada, but I think mine was made in Quebec and the decals aren't as pretty as yours. Mine has a brown motor added to it but I think it was a hand crank in it's youth. There is no crank though. It also has a clip on the inside of the wooden case, does yours, do you know what it's for?

Would be lovely to make another connection of how trade was conducted in this island country in the 1930's. Newfoundland was an independent country until 1949 so that kind of thing fascinates me!
hmmmm.... how do I find this out?

BTW you can have a motor put on them I am seriously thinking about having mine done because of its superb stitches.
