I am thinking this is a National badged machine, they badged for a lot of the folks out there including Minnesota which was sold by Sears in the early days.It is in marvelous condition and pretty complete with the exception of the inspection plate. This is a great machine to learn the basics of a restoration and will be a nicer candidate than the Singer 27 you looked at. I like the Non-Singers just because and this one really has my interest peaked.
I hope to see the in process restoration pics ;-) ;-)
