a matched pair

well...not entirely....but as close as its gonna get.

the wife recently picked up this vintage Elna Contessa. it didnt come with a case, and i couldnt find any information online about what sort of case, if any, it originally came with. i can only find the next model up from this one, which was plastic instead of metal.
so....
since this machine has red accents, I picked up a Bernina 830 sewing machine case off e-bay and repurposed it for the Elna. now it matches the wife's Elna Junior chain stitch machine.
