Vintage PFAFF Children’s Chain-Stitch Sewing Machine – Model “Princess” – 1950s In excellent condition – No reserve. A charming and technically heavy quality vintage children’s sewing machine by PFAFF, produced in Germany in the 1950s.

These machines were built to last, using metal components and real mechanical principles, and today they are highly sought after by collectors of vintage toys, sewing memorabilia, and mid-century industrial design.
