The key in internet searching is to keep the search words to a minimum. Go to Google and in the search line put in just the words I have in quotation marks "sewing machine badged mercury", then you're off and running. Because my ageing brain is like a grasshopper all over the place and seldom remembering where I landed last, I would either email myself the whole page that comes up, or create a folder named Mercury Sewing Machine, then save to that. You can always go back later and delete what you don't need or rename it.
Thanks for giving me something new to explore.
