What makes are the Vintage Machines in Lexus TV Ad Pictures

I was watching a show that I had recorded earlier and the Lexus commercial came up and I saw the 2 vintage machines fly by so quickly, it was almost impossible to identify the makers of the sewing machines. So I ran and grabbed my camera and hit the rewind button and I snapped a couple of pictures off the tv screen...not the best shots, but can anyone figure out these 2 machines? The one in the cabinet looks to be a rather small machine not full size.

I saw that commercial and had to back it up and look at it again because she's treadaling in high heels, LOL. Possibly even one footed - not sure about that it goes by pretty fast.

According to the good folks over on Treadleon the treadle she is using is a BOBBIN and the one off to the left is a MINERVA. The BOBBIN has been identified as being made in Czechoslovakia . I think I found that the MINERVA was made in Vienna. Forgot the Lexus, I want the treadles under my Christmas tree!
