Bernina 530-2 'Record'

 Arguably the best domestic sewing machines money could buy in 1960, the Bernina 'Record' features many innovations, including thirteen built in stitch patterns and a handy fold-out accessory storage box.

Quirky promotional sticker, perhaps suggesting Bernina could mend even a broken heart?

 Beautiful Swiss engineering on the outside...

...as well as on the inside.

A period sales brochure with hand written note quoting the all inclusive price of £119-10-0 - a substantial sum, equivalent in those days to six or seven weeks' wages!
