I found the Brother site that says it acquired Jones in 1968 at

The link Jon gave you was for a really old Jones hand crank. As noted in the gracesguide links the Jones Sewing machines were made in the late 1800s, but continued until acquired by Brother. Consequently, many models of sewing machines were made by Jones and later badged Jones.
Since you said it was electric, I'm guessing that your machine is a later machine. A picture would help. We like pictures. You will probably need to
reduce or compress the picture to a

I don't know if this link will work, but I happened across
https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/Jones-Colle...05/bn_39939340 quite a variety of Jones sewing machines. I'm going to guess that the non-antique machines would take a 15x1 needle. It is possible that one of the old black hand cranks may have been converted to electric, like many machines were that would still take the old class of needles.
