How can you tell? The picture isn't clear. Am just curious but not doubting what you've said.

Probably another from Sears. Since they started out in Minnesota, they liked to use some of the Native American names.

Here is another one - nice machine and all - but read about how rare the bobbins are - and this one comes with 8 so you'd better jump on it! http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hn...013293433.html

I bet I could get it for $40.... no, no no...... The worst thing is I would want to convert it to a hand crank anyway...walking away..... walking away.....

Not a bad deal for a real good machine - very unique.
