Anyhoo, I'm wondering whether any of you own a Minnesota (Charlee, maybe?) and might be willing to help me find information on them. So far I've been able to determine it was probably badged for Sears and might have been made by National or Davis. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, I put some lemon bars over on the table with some sun tea, sweetened and unsweetened. Jars are marked for you. Enjoy!
Sorry Anamaria, I don't have a Minnesota... yet! ;)

The Minnesota A s were badged by Davis, Domestic, and White...the Davis and White machines both take a standard 15x1 needle, and I'm guessing that it's the Domestic that takes the 20x1 needle according the the needle list on Ismacs.
Now...I'm NOT positive on the Domestic...that's just what I saw on Needlebar's photo gallery.
Can't wait to see photos of the machine!
