Weir is Here!
No, that is not a question...
My James Weir New England Style machine has arrived safe and sound from Paris, France to California!
Now here starts the research part.
1. The "double curl" on the bottom indicates a James Weir Machine
2. The machine is Stamped on the Needleplate
This is my oldest confirmed date machine.

So, it IS a Raymond machine, but made to sell in the UK through James Weir is the best guess currently.CHAS RAYMOND
