Nancy, That quilt above the machine is cute! Where did you get that pattern? I want to make one.
I have to say again that I really like the look of your 319 in that cabinet. The machine looks so happy!!

Anyway, some paint chips etc. for its age, but it works great now after about 4 hours of TLC. Also, a family photo of the 3, 301's I have. I feel kind of guilty for having 3 of them now!!! But, 301's seem to have turned into my 'specialty' and refurbishing 3 of them has taught me a lot.

I have a handcrank version of this machine in the classifieds and I can say it lends well to the conversion. In fact all of my 99's are handcranks.

Why I think it is a Davis over a National is the body shape of the machine. Look at the shape of your Two Spools versus the Davis. On left side of the machine where the thread gets threaded through for the tension/guide, the shape of the body looks like the Davis. Then on the right, the two bolts looks like the bolts found on the Davis. National Two Spools does have that.
Nancy, Please post a picture of the left face plate area so that we can see that area better. I'm curious as to how the thread is guided through.
Ok Monica, here is a picture of the face plate. This machine threads very simply, but it appears to be missing the check spring too - if it ever had a check spring!
Jon, should it have a check spring on the tension? Do you or anyone else have the check spring, or the thread guide for the bobbin winder?
Ok I see why the slide plate, needle plate appears to be made by Davis, but they are not exactly like my Davis? With the consensous on here that this is a Davis machine - I am going with that!
To answer your questions on putting the bobbin in the 319w now that that machine is in a treadle. No problem, just remove the slide/needle plate like any other machine!
Nancy
To ad confusion to this machine, the manual that came with the machine - I know this is the correct manual for the machine - says, "Silent and Light Running." Didn't New Home use the "light Running" along with their grayhound as their logo?

Stopped by my favorite 2nd hand craft store and found a new attachment for my White FR treadle. I've never seen one before - it's kind of neat looking. It was only $2.95. It came with the original sales slip - $6.95 in August 1928. It's called a Stitch Master.

Candace, I like your trio of 301s. I would like a black one to go with my tan.
