Ebay Sewing Machines

Simplex sewing machine. Does anybody have any information about this machine?
I aquired this beautifull Simplex sewing machine. It looks like a clone of the Model 15 singer and I have seen 1 or 2 on eBay but can’t get an answer from the sellers about its origin.
It says Simplex Sewing Machine Company on it.
It looks like the one on this link. I don’t think the seller knows anything about it.

While I can’t tell you about your specific machine, The Simplex was one of many machines made in Japan, know as a “class-15 clones”. Made in Japan after WW2 when the US shared western technology in an effort to help rebuild Japan. There were many made with names for American department stores, ect., but the same basic design. Most are solid, well-built machines and can still perform well.
