Did a google search, and saw ones that are later National Rotary machines, from the 40's. Would need a picture to help identify exactly what model National it is? BTW - if you read anywhere that it was MADE by another business, that is who SOLD it, National made them for different businesses, and would put other names and info on them depending on what the reseller wanted.

This shows several different National models sold under the "Blue Grass" brand name.

Sewred,
Looks very similar to the National, 3rd one down, in the ad. Should use 20x1 needles which are longer than standard and Eldredge / National shuttle and bobbins (Boye 13). You plan on fixing the old girl up?

Yep I am thinking she runs just waiting to get a chance to text her out. I also picked up another Singer 66. They both are from 1941 according to their serials! 😁
