Answer
Hello Darlene,
I believe, from your description that your machine is a domestic or household sewing machine (full size).  I cannot help you on this one I'm afraid.  My expertise as far as sewing machines go is in the antique Toy or Miniature collectible variety.

Expertise

I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
