Dealer label question on an Edison Fireside

I have tried to track down this dealer/city etc on my fireside. Everything I type in comes up New Zealand so clearly I am doing something wrong or is the machine really from New Zealand? (I feel like a goober asking)

Ideas?

As the dealer tag says they are located in Bunedin, and that they have other locations in Wellington, Timaru, etc., I'd say it's a sure bet this was originally sold in New Zealand, where all these cities are located.

You have to be correct. The machine is in amazing shape, all pin striping/decals etc are in amazing shape. Whomever brought it over took really good care it. I would love to know the history.

Thank you Raphael

Did you find this machine locally?

If so, it would make an interesting story to know how it got there all the way from NZ...
