Another for the collection - Foley & Williams
At first glance, this looks a lot like a Eldredge/National machine, and they take the same size needle and shuttle.

F&W has ties to Goodrich- and my box of Goodrich A attachments fits the F&W machine. |
I've seen a few with the "Leads The World globe decal and it is so cool. What a great find! Thanks for the comparison photos.
