I came across a Davis "Honeymoon" machine, its treadle looks just like yours and the machines decals are just like your machine. It is the first machine on left, click on photo to enlarge.

You are right--it is most definitely a Davis Model M. I have had both a Minnesota C and a K, so should have recognized this. I don't remember if it takes a regular 15 x 1 needle or a Davis long (1 x 2). Is there a needle in it?
