Here is a link to your Franklin's history.
Well, I am not sure this will work, but if it doesn't google 'ismacs' and once you get in there do a search on Franklin Sewing Machines. It seems that Franklin was made by Domestic until White bought out Domestic in 1924. White then made the Franklin. Pretty interesting stuff, and lots of information on your machine.
