That round front access plate is a giveaway for a National. Standard also made a Leader, and New Home made an Our Leader. I will go back and take another look, but I'm betting it's a National Paveway model.
Ok, went for a second look, and it's definitely a National Paveway.

Miz Johnny, I know we can always count on you to solve a puzzle. What still bothers me, though, is that the Leader was suppose to be a Mason? Irishrose, isn't that what the original owner told you? That is why I thought it was a White, as White made the Mason machines after 1900 and White had one called "Leader." Of course, I am probably mixing the posts up on which machine was which!
I am glad the mystery is solved. That little "Leader" is a beautiful machine for sure.

Well, everyone I took the plunge and won a machine off of E-Bay today. It looks like a clone of a 99. Anyway, it says "made in occupied Japan." That is why I bought it, I thought it would be cool to have a machine that says "made in occupied Japan." It is black, not one of the brighter colors. I will post pictures when she arrives! I hope, I don't regret this -- having a machine shipped is very scary for me!

Seems like earlier, and I mean way earlier, in this thread, there was talk of a machine from occupied Japan, and Billy posted some information about those machines. I don't think I can read the whole thread again, though, to find it, lol. Let us see pics when you get it.

I'm so tempted, tho. I think it will bid through the roof, before it's over. About the only place you see those real old ones in mint condition is the UK! Families kept them in their parlors for 100 years, and kept them nice.

It could be meant to be. Having a machine you love in the country where your son is...how many times is that going to happen? Maybe the bidding won't get too high due to others thinking about shipping costs. Good luck!! Oops, that almost sounds like enabling!
Melinda
Sewbiz, that is beautiful, are you going to bid on it?
