Was the Franklin you are talking about that Domestic made a clone of the 27/127 with elaborate decals? Maybe, we are talking about the same machine - just a debate on who actually made it!
I love it when this stuff comes up! We can all research and learn even more!

Here's about the only information I could find on Sears Franklin, about 3/4 page down:

Since Davis had about a gazillion badged names, there might very well be a Davis Franklin out there.
