Nancy,
As usual I'm out of town at my Mom's until Friday.
I have the Glenda Thomas encyclopedia of toy machines and will look at it and get back to you.
I do have needles that will work.

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!
