I don't know a lot about Raymond sewing machines but I do know that the factory was in Guelph Ontario. Over the years (before I was really interested in a treddle machine) I saw a lot of them at farm auctions in Southern Ontario. I think at one time that they were more popular and more affordable(?) than a Singer in Canada. Unfortunately in the seventies a lot of them were trashed and the cabinets made into plant stands and end tables. I still see them listed occassionally at auctions and in the Super Shopper out of Barrie, Ontario.
