Good question. Without a picture it's going to be impossible to know for sure. There were a lot of Japanese manufacturers that would put any name the buyer wanted on them if the buyer was ordering enough. That's one possibility. If it was a newer machine with a lot of plastic, then almost anywhere.
If your husband thought it was ugly and you both have the same or similar taste it probably wasn't a mistake. There will be other machines.
Save your money and space for machines you love.
