Look what I found; the cover to the owner's manual to your Franklin IF it is the model that was made by the Domestic Company.


The light running domestic

The Sears Roebuck & Co sold many of the Domestic machines under their brand name of the Minnesota, even after White's took over the firm in 1924.

The Minnesota, Franklin and the Domestic VS models are the most common ones to survive from the company.

Sears & Roebuck the World's largest store

The Franklin or Minnesota Sewing Machine by Domestic.

When the Domestic Sewing Machine Co exported to Europe they advertised their machines as the American Domestic Sewing Machine.
