Still browsing on ebay and look what I found, it is totally out of my price range but it is so pretty.

It is pretty!! Looks like it uses a bobbin shuttle--I hate to get into another whole bobbin system.

The bottoms are supposed to be either in the shape of a fiddle or a violin, I forgot which! Neat, huh?

Yes, you are right violin shape. I have only seen one of these once before. Quite beautiful ...but then who would want to sew with her? I would be afraid I would cause damage.

Oh My!! I would like to run right out and grab both of them.
