According to this Goodrich, Davis, Domestic, White, and Standard all made Minnesota's. The Min. L was made by Standard and is a "Class N" or Norwood. There's a handy dandy little book sold on ebay for $10 where I got this info from: "The Handbook of Antique Sewing Machines" by Charles Law. $10 well spent and I'm not the seller.

Thanks Jon, according to ISMACS my Minnesota H was made by Standard, but there is also a Minnesota H made by Davis. Sometimes the manufacturers of these old machines can get a little confusing, especially when they used the same name for the machine!
