Hopefully the Needlebar will open up membership soon. The owner is having some health problems.
Wow, this Favorite is near me

Jon, have you noticed that there we a lot of "Manufacturers" listed in vintage adds that weren't "real" manufacturers? I've seen quite a few that way. It seems that someone would contract with an existing sewing machine factory to make their machines for them. Some appear to have a few differences than what the factory normally produced, but enough similar to make it interesting.

Very true. I suspect Oxford Manufacturing at the very least marketed and distributed the Favorite. I think more research is needed to determine the maker. The machine and irons bear a resemblance to New Home. New Home took Oxford manufacturing to Court for infringing on Home and New Home brand names. The same article also states Oxford never made any sewing machines but bought from others.
