That crown tension just doesn't look like a Davis, even tho the attachments do.
There's a discussion about one like yours (NOT in good shape) on Needlebar. They, in the discussion, seem to think that it's a New Home machine, altho Chrys thought it might be one of the last models that Remington made.
Long story short, who knows?
It's a pretty girl in a pretty skirt!!

I just saw this thread and pulled out my Needlebar's Needle Book. Just as Charlee has reported the book shows that the Favorite was made by Standard, Davis or New Home. These all take a different needle. If you can measure the needle from the top of the shank to the top of the eye this will help to identify the maker of the machine. The Standard version takes a 15x1 needle. The Davis version takes a Davis Long needle. The New Home takes the 20x1 needle. I can look up the measurements of each of these needles to compare to yours if you want.

hunk of beeswax, a wool coat tag dated 1964, a few attachments, three Boye needle cases with needles included, an assortment of wooden spools, several bobbins and lots of bits and parts that truly make me wonder if this machine didn't belong to a working seamstress.
Cabinet and bonnet are in very good shape. Machine has a bit of silvering but still in good shape. Clean. I'd say she was well treated.
(Darest I even mention the two other machines that came here lately - all inside of one week. No More, Ms. d!)
