It's a bit off topic but I'm just back from my mum's where I took a look at her ancient treadle sewing machine that was sitting unused in the living room and it is this exact model, decal and all except that there is a screwed on plaque on the horizontal arm with the brand "Simplex" and on the inside of the vertocal arm there is a "made in USA [sic]" inscription in decal.
I don't know about elsewhere in the world but in France, Simplex is a brand still known nowadays for manufacturing bicycle parts (pedalier and so on)
