Domestic was a very popular name in the early years but eventually the Japanese bought the name and started producing machine with their moniker on them. I cant remember off hand who bought the company but it was sold several times before being dismembered and sold off completely.
Just by looking at the styling cues this could be a Morse, Toyota, or Marzuen.
But this is how Japan got back into the American market by the familiar names (or sounding familiar) and the Americana styling cues. I happen the love the early Japanese machines because of the styling, the colors and the quality of the overall machine.
You really can not go wrong with the early Japanese machines!!!
