I have looked everywhere on the machine, in the instructions and can't find a makers name. Free joined with Westinghouse to make the motors and were sold as Free-Westinghouse. They made many branded machines including Apartments. The factory was in Rockford, Il. The company closed shop sometime in the 1950's. This is one of the more beautiful machines that I have ever seen. The decals are art deco and are in excellent condition. The coloring is nice and bright and I really don't see any wear.
