Hi Charlee,
Here's a link to the very little information out there on Sears Minnesota's:
http://www.ismacs.net/sears/sears.html
The S is about 3/4 way down the page and replaced the "B" around 1910. I've seen a few actual pictures of them and there definitely made by Davis. I have an "A" which is similar to the "S" but with a few differences and these are nice machines and there doesn't seem to be much demand for them.
Seems like a lot of the old sewing machine information is incorrect and am especially weary when looking for needle sizes for "badged" machines. Guess it adds to the fun.
