Looks like it might be an Elna Supermatic.

Miriam, could you explain this? I've read this and I don't understand why the 503 and 403 would have better stitch width control. How are the 500 and 401 different in the stitch width area? Thanks.
I just know that when I use the 403 I can get different widths for the decorative stitches. The 401 camstack is set for what ever you get - for example EQ2 will make a stitch - that's it only stitch length adjustment. The 403 with a disk will make the same stitch and then you have a width adjustment as well as length adjustment. I'm thinking if you use the disk the 401 will do the width in what ever you want to set it. On the other hand - I mostly use it set to the full width. Then the 403 is easier to maintain - that cam stack can get stuck if the oil dries.

Janice,
Thanks for sharing some photos from the toga.
Any idea how many machines the hostess had?

Look what came in my mail today!!!
Thanks so much for posting the heads up.
The treadle cabinet is now completely back together. This was the CL free cabinet and machine for whomever was willing to finish the job of reassembling; just that the machine was missing the jar of parts. I had most of the parts already; I was just missing drawer handles and this part.
Thanks!!!
