Check out this blog post. Looks good from the picture, but I would check it out further. Serviced? Price? Run? I love the older machine and hope to get a necchi at some point. They seem to be more expensive around here, maybe because they are better I am not sure. I have been lucky with older singers.
I believe that it's a straight stitch Esperia from the late 40's early 50's. It's a quality machine with all metal components capable of making hammocks, packs, etc. There are a couple Necchi Yahoo groups which can provide more info and possibly a manual. Who made the motor and how many amps is it?

Looks nice! I love older uncomplicated machines. If it was being used regularly, it might just need some oiling. If it's stiff it might just be old varnished oil. Either one is not hard to remedy. Don't know much about Necchis but if you find the manual online you might be able to just get it running well without paying for any servicing. Learning the basic maintenance goes a long way towards having a properly running machine for years and it'll save you money.
Don't let life get in the way of living.
Yes it is a BF. Any idea the years they were made with the VN logo..
It has not been used in YEARS! All the parts are there even a box with 5 different size hemmer feet. If i can find the right manual with oiling diagram I will give it a shot
Thanks everyone!
You're right, it's a BF not Esperia. I've read on other forums that Necchi changed the logo, dropped the V, in 1950 so your machine was made sometime after WWII and before the logo change. Does it have the original motor?
You can find more info on it here as well as a free manual in the photos section:
