Large bobbin top bottom feed with reverse, made by Stager, Japan for a long time.  Stager is no longer in business.

This machine sold in the US as a Consew 146RB for a long time, too.  Good machine, most parts are still available.

Well, now, Gregg,

she was a real beaut with an almost virgin deck
well maintained and surely suited for a long stretch - heck
a decidely shapely, gleaming body and gorgeous throat
but, one had to reflect on how much is enough work on a boat
considerin' there's probably more funds around in straight lines
then zig zaggin' great big sails and a running out of puff ...
hmm, would rather be flavouring some Florida wines - and other stuff.
cheers
