Yes. Another "indicator" is that all of the other decals have shading and detail work that the name does not.

If it was a companies machine/model name you would expect them to put as much effort into their name as the ornamentation, but if the name was being "badged" there is not as much of a chance to do all of the extra work for each name.

Great looking machine. I attempted to find more information about the machine and could not find anything new.

Yes she is a smooth as butter and wonderful stitches. Yes Sabine she is very much like my Harris Hand Crank. I am having trouble finding any good info too.
