Doesn't one just wonder why a seller can't understand what they're selling. This is obviously a Necchi BU. Any vintage sewing machine to them is a "Singer" I think.

I hate lazy sellers.
I take pictures from all angles and usually use the maximum number I can. And I make sure the pics are oriented properly.

It takes time!
My cousin and I went fabric shopping this week and I kept pointing to machines going "15-90", or "127 Pheasant decal", and she just shakes her head. Can't figure out how I do it.
Here are two that will help you get going:

http://vssmb.blogspot.ca/2011/07/vis...g-singers.html - This is a great visual, but I find that he misses some weird things. Like a 15 is immediately identifiable by the tensioner on the face plate. (It can only be a 15 or a 115 at that point)

Anastasia, I don't know which makes me giggle more; your trampoline-jumping elephant, or your signature tag line. ;-)

I can't understand what the pictures are showing, as it looks like the machine is attached to the bottom of the case, but is down inside the top of the case.

Because of the angle, the pictures are somewhat distored (cell phones do this). The case is laying on it's side in all the pictures. Most of these cases don't want to stay open when they are set on the base with the machine in there. It's not a great design, I've pinched my fingers several times as the case wants to close as soon as you put the machine in.
I guess it was too heavy for them to lift out.
