Randa, do you know who made that machine and what year it is made?
There is a Damascus Grand rotary machine sold by Montgomery Wards and made by the National Sewing Machine Company. The Damascus had very ornate decals, but the throat plate, bobbin plate look the same as your machine. Was it made for Montgomery Wards? Cute machine, I sometimes wonder, though, why so many companies jumped on that Godzilla finish? It seems all the different companies made those! Thanks for posting a picture!

That is interesting, I see that Monica posted that your Grand Rotary looks alot like the Graybar she has. Since, National made sewing machines for Western Electric for two years before Graybar split off to form the Graybar Company - I wonder if it was made by National? I think that Godzilla finish happened earlier than the 1940's. Does anyone have a Godzilla type machine earlier than 1940's?
Actually, my White with the Black Crinkle Embossed finish is from 1931.
Where would I even find that information? (Is Monica RedbugSullivan?? She sure was a great help to me!)
Vintagemotif is Monica, that's me. I posted photos on threading the machine for you. That is what Nancy was referring to. Your machine, the Graybar, and the National Two Spools (that I own and used in the photos and not my Graybar) all thread the same way. Nancy took notice to all of this since she is interested in a Graybar.
