Don't go by the patent date, all that means is it was made AFTER that date, and sometimes way after. Willcox & Gibbs was still putting the 18XX patent date on machines up until they stopped making them in the 1940's.

If it is a New England Queen that old, it would most likely take an attachment type other than what would fit a Singer. However, one could easily take the shirr plate of a Singer ruffler and put it on a Greist ruffler, and that is the only part that has the brand name on it. I think all the rufflers were made be Griest at some point in time (he started out making attachments for Singer, then went off on his own).

I believe that "name" was used by more than one company, so it would be really neat to see a picture of it.

Here is mine - it's made by National, but was intentionally made to look like a New Home machine.
