Answer
Hello Marie,
Is this a toy or miniature sewing machine?  If it is not, I'm sorry I cannot shed any light on your machine. My expertise is in toy or miniature sewing machine collectibles and not domestic sewing machines.
If you read through my past questions you will find links to other sites where they specialize in domestic sewing machines - perhaps they can help you.
Regards,
Irene

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.
