Here's one source from one of the pioneers: http://www.merrow.com/
From the Smithsonian:

The terms serger and overlock are generally used for home sewing, not
commercial production.
very interesting! Hmm, Merrow is saying early to mid- 1920s. I had
wanted to write the Husqvarna company about when they started
(especially since I'm particularly interested in Sweden), but they have
no contact info and just want you to contact your local distributor
(who, esp over here) won't have a clue to the answer!
Thanks.
