Oh man this is the second one of these I have seen!! You lucky devil!!!
I want you to take the face plate off of your machine and see if it has an "SK" behind it. Just loosen the top screw and it should slide up and pop right off. There are only three possible manufacturers for this machine Koyo, Koyo-Seiko or S.K. Sharma and Sons depending on the year and I am going with Koyo because of it looking like an early model.
They were the ones that badged my Universal 15 that I have in my shop. Except mine was manufactured by Koyo-Seiko.
You have one of a very few that left the factory not badged, why they left like this it is only speculation but I am suspecting that it could have been a sales model that was sent around to whom ever they were trying to sell them to. Take very good care of it because you have a rare machine!!!!
(if you look up to the photo of my studio my Universal 15 is in the treadle)
