Gday from Brisbane Australia. I had previously written a reply following up from stonewoman's discussion of New Valley machine? Just so not to confuse her conversation if it's a different machine, i'm starting a new thread seeking more information from the wonderful people in this group. From the images, it looks similar to the one i picked up today but the words seems to be "The Valley R.G". Unfortunately, it didn't come as complete as stonewoman's find, but rather in a very sad state. I had previously chatted with Glenn re his thread on french polishing with shellac and he recommended i find one only one to try out first. So, i took this baby home and hoping to work on her. Meantime, just hoping to find more information, where it is from (no indication of where is made). There's a serial number tagged under the machine and I'm going to try to upload the images

Sorry, I can really help as to who made the machine. It is indeed very much like the other "Valley" machine. Missing some parts, like the spool pin that folds over in the middle of the arm. I'm guessing that it was imported from a German manufacturer. I'm basing that opinion on a German machine that has a similar stitch length lever that I have.
Thank you for the pictures.
