Welcome to the board. There's some interesting information about the Minnesota machines here - http://www.searsarchives.com/history...ons/sewing.htm

Minnesota Model E given to sister in law

Does it look like this one? It has a vibrating shuttle. Not a rotary bobbin. Older design, but it should be able to work well.

Pictures have to be shrunk to tiny sizes to fit here.

My grandmother sewed on a Minnesota in a parlor cabinet. Wish I had that machine.

Sears contracted with many different companies to produce their machines, so without a picture we can only guess who actually made it.

I believe the one in the post by LeonF is made by White, but made to use Singer type needles and shuttle (as per Sear's specs). I'm pretty sure I own one like that because I fell in love with the cabinet it was in.
