Default National Sewing Machine Find

Picked this up yesterday at a garage sale for $8. It was all gunked up. Brought it to my dealer and she said she can overhaul it to working order. Says it's from the 1890's. Dh sprayed it with WD40 overnight and worked on cleaning it all day. The gold just pops now. Added to my collection of 12 machines now. Any info on this machine would be much appreciated. At least now I have a machine to sew on during blackouts.
