Could someone tell me about a vintage sewing machine I inherited?

It looks similar to the black Singer sewing machines that were made, but it's not a Singer. It has a metal plate on the face of the machine that says "Tailor Maid" on it. It also comes in a small table, that is tucked underneath the tabletop when it isn't in use. Someone told me once that it was a Japanese clone from WWII, and if that is the case, I was hoping to discover some history about it. Thank you!

There were millions of "badged" machines, mostly based on the Singer 15, imported from Japan after WW!! till the 60's.

Though it's not "your brand", here's a fairly typical tale of badged machines of the era:
