Nice! Does it say Halls Bros? Your feed dog switch seems to have more options than most. Most have Up, low, and down, or Reg, Silk, and down. But you have a couple more in between. The stitch reg. dial seems to have numbers on it. Maybe they are in mm? 10 stitches per inch doesn't seem like enough. Maybe it's stuck?

Very nice machine. Is there a model number on it anywhere? That might help you find a manual with more information on the stitch regulation. Would like to see close up pics of the emblem and name.

some do have more numbers than others - don't know why - maybe so they could charge more

Cool machine! Congratulations. I've never seen the knob for locking stitch length look exactly like this before, but that's what it is, I think. You partially unscrew it to move or reset the stitch length and then screw it down again to hold it.

I have a similar feed dog adjustment on one of my Model 15 clones, except with only three positions.

I wonder what this machine was made/marketed for? Probably those additions were to increase flexibility for dressmaking with various fabric thicknesses, I'm guessing.
