Charlee I know nothing about the Damascus except she was made by National. I am going by what the people figured out about their grandmother and when she used this machine? Cathy might know more? I checked the Damascusannie website and she has the same TSM Damascus shown, but I could not find a date on that site either. I need a needle and it has got to be short! A 15X1 does not clear the area under the foot -- too long. There is nothing with her, no manual, nothing so I will be searching for information. I would like to at least get a needle for her! She is all metal, so she is vintage for sure! I know National was in business from 1890 to about 1953 is all, so she is somewhere in that time frame for sure!
Oh, I put her next to the Pfaff just to show the comparison! My hubby thinks I should be collecting these little guys instead of treadles!
