some more photos

Here are some (bad) photos of the badge and wording on the top of the arm. I am beginning to think that this may be a Gritzner or a Frister and Rossman produced for the English/American market. The case is in very good condition and still has the original key attached. I've included a photo of the attachments. I gather I'm lucky as there is a tube of spare needles! Do you know what the strange bit on the bottom left of the photo is? Some sort of marking device? The stuff inside is crumbling but might originally have been similar to pencil lead.
Thanks
Pippa

That alone is reason enough to bring home another machine! Another reason would be if you had a best friend with the name on the machine...

I have 2 sons, one is named Rodney and the other is Raymond. I have actually seen machines badged with these names. I have a best friend named Diana and I've seen a machine with that name, also!
