Here's a link to the sewing machine documentation available at the Smithsonian, although it appears that most of the really older stuff is not available online.

I bolted my stand to it, but you could probably drill holes in the boards where the rollers would nest in them if your machine has rollers.

I have my Grandma's sewing machine she brought to the USA in 1911 from the Netherlands - wrapped in a feather mattress. I learned to sew on it for 4-H club. The wooden cover has a decorative H N on the outside. A brass plate on the machine says HAID & NEU Nahmsschinen Fabrik Karisrune Then Fabrik Marke below that.
It has the oblong bobbin, many different feet attachments, and is a table model with a hand crank.
Number #29 (or 8)2 is imprinted in the wood top and HN is handwritten inside the cover.
Do you now anything about this machine?? Thank you for your help.
I certainly treasure "her" !!! Kay
