Le 460 Super Flairmatic

Lemair Helvetia 460 Super Flairmatic

 * Le_S.Flairmatic,19670205-SMH,p29.pngThe early adverts for this machine show a sewing machine identical to the one below as simply the "Lemair Helvetia Flairmatic" but the stamp on the example that I own says it is a "Model 460 Super Flairmatic". I am going to treat the two as the same model. See comments in the base design section.

Brother 190B Super Flairmatic
The advertisement in LIFE magazine (Vol 45, No 18) on Nov 3, 1958, p123 shows two machines described as a "Flairmatic", the older model 130 and the model 190 which looks visually simlar to the Lemair models shown here. A [https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/263131515172? closed ebay sale from Aug 10, 2017], shows a perfect example of a model 130 Flairmatic, which is obviously not the same as the models shown in the Lemair advertisements.

From the following year, as shown by the advertisement in LIFE (Vol 47, No 23) on Dec 7, 1959, p109 this later model is called the model 190B Super Flairmatic - was it given a new varient number and modified name to set it apart from the earlier model 130?
