Who made the Majestic sewing machine? New Home or National?
And is New Home just a National?
Here is one on CLs:

I googled Majestic and some of the cabinets are very pretty, but the machines look older than this one on CLs.
Cooper lists Majestic as being made by New Home. My granddaughter is asleep in the sewing room (where my reference books are), so can't check to see if there are others who made a Majestic.
New Home and National were two separate companies.
I thought so, but then I read this article and was surprised with what I read which made me question if the machines were the same.

The newly-formed new Home Sewing Machine Company started to produce models known as "Octagon" and "New Home" and three years later came out with the "National" and the "Favorite".
The production of the National was confined to the second floor, the rotary to the third floor, and the New Home on the top floor.
That's the National by New Home Sewing Machine Company, rather than the National from the National Sewing Machine Co. I have a "New National" (or two) made by New Home. (Confusing, right??)
