Miz Johnny is it the Leader that you think is a National? According to the White records, the Leader was a Mason machine made by White? It is so hard to tell, I have the New Home T No 3 that also looks like that Leader - pictured on page 665? Well, whoever made the Leader, it is really cute for sure!

That round front access plate is a giveaway for a National. Standard also made a Leader, and New Home made an Our Leader. I will go back and take another look, but I'm betting it's a National Paveway model.
Ok, went for a second look, and it's definitely a National Paveway.

When I took a good look at the decal, I realized it's the Dragon--love that decal!! I have 3 or 4 of those around here somewhere (!) just because of it!! I need to find those. . . I know for sure I have at least one in a handcrank, and I believe I have two--one with a metal base and one with wooden.
This model (Paveway 2) was produced from the 1900s through the 30s.
