Welcome. This Minnesota was made by Davis for the Sears mail order catalog in 1902. A few years later Minnesota was renamed Minnesota A. Most were shippped by rail from the Davis factory in Dayton ohio to all over the US. You'll need a nearly 2" long Davis needle if you plan on doing any sewing with it.
