Hello Tammi and PinkCastle,
Vickers machines have the serial number behind the pillar, and they don't have that type of bobbin winder, which I have only seen on German machines.
I can well imagine that a German manufacturer's plate would be taken off this machine in Holland when war came. I often wonder whether the reason that my beautiful 1936(ish) Vesta, which has MADE IN GERMANY in bold lettering on the pillar, was shoved away into a cupboard by the owner because they couldn't stand the sight of it. It looks as though it was barely used.
