A very fashionably dressed lady, told me one time, (after I had just complimented her on her attire), that "Pink and Panache, never, go out of style!" I was reminded of her when I first saw this machine, on the floor of the local Salvation Army store. It just stood out! It has style. Not sure what you would call it, maybe, mid century? and it does have panache!
It's also a darn good sewing machine. It makes a nice even, tight stitch, and goes through six layers of denim just as smoothly as two layers of cotton.
It's a JA-21 machine and like all of the Japanese machines of the period, it's a work horse, sturdy and reliable.
These machine were originally fitted with a central oiling system consisting of a reservoir and copper tubes to dispense oil throughout the machine, with the push of a button. this one had it, but it leaked, big time, so it was removed, now you have to do it manually.
