My dutch grandmother who moved here in 1954 left me this table top Gritzner sewing machine. It's both manual and electric. She was a fashion designer/couturier and used it till she was 100 years old. Looking for any info on the machine. How old, model number. etc...
Not sure what I will do with it. But it is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Hundreds od dresses my grandmaothe rmade come from this.
Thank you for any leads..

Friend, beautiful machine. By the design, it looks like the late '30s or '40s. I must say, the first thing I would do is to take out of the sun. Also, if you can, remove the leather belt from the wheel. With respect, search engines online must have more information than me. If you are in the Los Angeles area, my buddy is a true expert and his business has been helping people for more than 40 years. Here is a nice website to get you started. https://www.fiddlebase.com/german-machines/gritzner/dating-gritzner/

Found one with instructions: https://www.lesfeestisseuses.com/t39008-Gritzner-Kl-136.htm

Thank you for the info... The Fiddlebase websitewas helpful, but unfortunately the owner and man knowable has passed away. The page is still up, just no updates or anyone to run... very sad.
