[\quote]Definitely a badged National, and in absolutely wonderful shape. The Nationals generally take Boye size 14 needles, but DamascusAnnie, the Queen of National machines, says she just uses a regular 15 x 1 needle and "cheats" it down a bit. Let me know if that works for you, and if not, we will hunt for needles that work!![/quote]
It looks like a National to me too. In fact, it's a lot like my Alvah only in WAY better condition. I think your grandmother+ would be thrilled if you oiled it up and did some sewing!! I'm fixing up my MiL's 1904 New Home just for that reason. Yes, be inspired and sew!
