Yep, Mum (Liz Ligeti) has a Viking she bought when she turned 21 (I think that's the story) while she was still in the UK, and it would've been 1957 or thereabouts. It's a Husqvana, but has Viking badging (I believe. I double check with her but after she finishes watching "Finding Nemo" with the kids).
Oh, and it goes forwards and backwards. She got a buttonhole attachment for a Singer many years later from a dear friend who was getting a new Singer (in Oz). It still sews up a storm!
