Damascus is a badge that Wards used on some of their machines. This particular one is made by National. You will find updated models sold under the same name. Grand usually denoted rotary, while the VS were referred to only as "Damascus".
I have one like that - Joe picked it up for me when he lived in Illinois.

At least he saved all the parts instead of pitching them. I have a Wards desk cabinet that has had all the parts removed and drawers put in place of the treadle parts.
