      Hi, madhamm. :-)

      Beautiful and fascinating.

      "Original Victoria" was a name trademarked by Mundlos & Co:

      http://www.sewmuse.co.uk/Mundlos.htm

      That coat of arms-style medallion on the rear access panel isn't a typical Mundlos one. Google Lens didn't turn up any twins for it, nor any twins for the logo in the middle of the treadle foot rest.

      Mundlos did badge machines for other companies, so it's still possible that this is a badged Mundlos. What company "AM" is remains a mystery.

      I also spy some numbers engraved on the needle plate, and they look like perhaps start with "773618?"

      CW S&T posts are limited to four pictures each, so could I impose on you to replace your fourth picture with one of the full front side of the sewing machine head?

      Either that, or create another post with more pictures. The two posts can always be linked to each other in the comments sections.

      These two websites do show some non-vibrating shuttle Original Victoria (yours appears to be a rotary) sewing machines, but it's difficult to compare yours to them without a look at the full front:

      "Mundlos did badge machines for other companies, so it's still possible that this is a badged Mundlos. What company "AM" is remains a mystery."

      maybe it means Arendt & Mundlos

      1876 Rudolf Arendt worked for Mundlos (sales manager)
      1884 became a partner (see Peter Wilhelm - Alte Nähmaschinen)

      or
      https://neustadt-magdeburg.de/geschichte/naehmaschinenfabrik-heinrich-mundlos/

      another thought: since 1920 Mundlos was an "Aktiengesellschaft" (public limited company)
      Aktiengesellschaft Mundlos => A.M.

      Nopi, Thank you for chiming in on this VSM post that has a lingering mystery.

      Arendt & Mundlos seems like a possibility (your link to the neustadt-magdeburg website didn't work for me, so here is a tidbit from fiddlebase dot com:

      *snip*

      1918. After the death of the co-owner Rudolf Arendt, all products were again marked Mundlos .
