Did just one factory/blacksmith make this type of "feet" with just a different motif in the center circle and then sell to different sewing machine companies?

They do look remarkably similar. I never noticed that before. If you look carefully, you'll see the "G" as well as the "W", for Willcox and Gibbs.

Would someone please help me out? Found this machine and the lady gave me a six digit serial number. She said she found it oon the end of the sewing machine, on a silver turn dial. Would that be a correct place to find a serial number for this machine?
