Congratulations, Cecilia! Coincidentally I have been eyeing this very same machine, with the same decals, in the window display of a shop next door to me that sells bespoke and ready-to-wear clothes. It has its original hand crank, and they have it sitting on a treadle cabinet. (I doubt it would fit in this cabinet, but I'm too short to see the top of the cabinet.) Sometimes I fantasize about what I might say to get them to sell it to me (cheap, of course), but it's so unlikely to happen. If I found a full size machine, with nice decals, that would fit in their treadle maybe they would trade. Until then it is something lovely to look it when I pass by the shop.
So, now we want to see pictures! And by the way, I think you now understand my hesitation about buying the Baer & Rempel machine -- if it's missing its bobbin case I'll never find one, and if it doesn't have any bobbins I might not be able to find them, either. I still haven't bought it -- *tail between legs*.

There is a manual on Ismacs:

and sew-classic has bobbins if you need them:

I'm going to post a bobbin question for you in your Phoenix thread.

Sheila, you -can- get bobbins and cases - I sourced them out from a high end Italian factory... forget how I did it, as normally I am an internet moron. But it -is- possible. Just expensive. I think $50 or so for a bobbin case. Which, yes, does give one cause for pause.
(I did not need to get one; but thought I might have to, so searched pre-emptively.)
