After seeing Penni's post on her pretty machine, I decided to share what I recently learned on some badge machines.
So, I posted this a couple days ago when I saw it come up on CLs.

Since I was curious as to who made this badge machine( Majestic), I notified the poster asking for a better close up photo of the machine and cabinet. The poster was very helpful and quickly sent these photos. After seeing the photos, I fell in love with the cabinet. ( I really need a basement since I do not have room for another gorgeous cabinet like this one.) Then I started to think maybe this is a National. If so, I could l put my National Two Spools in this cabinet, and I would sell the Singer straight leg cabinet that my Two Spools is presently occupying ( Dh modified that cabinet for me, but I could redo that). I notified the owner again asking for the distance of the pins and opening, only to find out that this cabinet would not work. Well, I had fun discovering that National made a machine called the Vindex . This one in the photo is identical to the Vindex 2nd Version. There are a couple of badge machines that look like this that go by the name of Harris B and Flower City. These are found on this page:http://needlebar.org/cm~nb/thumbnails.php?album=search&cat=0&page=2.
