Just like Singer made more than one machine, so did the other sewing machine companies, and Davis made a couple of interesting machines.
If you look at ebay (from time to time), there are different Davis machines listed. Listed here are the Rotary, Honeymoon, and the Silent as examples:

And then with the Davis Vertical Feed there are different models:

alright, I've been bitten by the bug, and it's contagious! I found this on CL today, and it reminds me sooo much of the one I learned on! Billy, any history you can give me?!? Serial #H149696 (user's book is dated 1921). It appears to just be very very dirty, and the drive cable is snapped, but all seems to move fairly smoothly! I've attached a pic of the toys I got with the machine:

Ok Sharon, What other machines are you hiding? I once went to your webshot page when you posted awhile back, and I don't remember seeing this in your machine collection. I like your machine covers that you have made. Did you follow some pattern or did you just measure and make up a pattern yourself?[/quote]
The Pfaff is in its own album, I needed pictures for an OSMG so I could get the proper foot pedal. http://good-times.webshots.com/album/576862065XdbgqG
I measured and made my own pattern. I used some string blocks that were left from making charity quilts. The covers are lined too, I used bias binding for the bottom edge. Its basically a fabric mail box. :lol:

The machine in question is a NVF, looks just like the last one on the second link with all the same decals but doesn't look anything at all like those on e-bay....anyone know how I can take a pic from my e-mail to post on here? So is there another model other than Rotary, Honeymoon or Silent?
