I have a Morse too. These are much rarer.

It says made in Germany on the machine though everywhere I look on the net says they were made in PA. Yes it works.

I have a machine that looks just like that. Do you have any info on it? I'm trying to find out how to thread it and some history of the machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Good find. using it for straight stitching is a good idea. Enjoy it.
