Lada class 15 sewing machine I knew this unmarked case contained a Lada Sewing machine, but when I got it the case was locked and there was no key. Fortunately I have a large tin full of different keys and I was lucky: I found a key that unlocked my treasure. By the 1960s the factory had manufactured 100,000 sewing machines, although in 1965 after a merge into ELITEX, the company lost its independence and by 1972 the government stopped its sewing machine production. Introduced in 1957, the T132 was Lada's first 'briefcase portable' machine with free-arm, a compact automatic zig zag sewing machine.

The decals on the machine bed appear to have been borrowed from Jones in the UK.The stitch length lever is of a similar type found on German machines. The serial number is stamped below the bed edge, centre front. The slide plates don't have any markings. They do have a slot each which acts as a spring to hold them in.

Foot control. The machine has an improved (more complicated) Central Bobbin type case. It seems there are three types of bobbin case used on the T132 model, compare with the type used with earlier (?) models.
