I have one also. They used to use them in treadle cabinets, but there are some like mine that has an electric motor. I would rather use it in a treadle cabinet as the motor turns it to fast and the shuttle can't keep up. The bobbin is a shuttle bobbin.

IT is called a shuttle bobbin or bullet bobbin case. They sew beautifully...
BTW, Keep the old bobbins for the machine, new bobbins to fit that bobbin case are just a hair off. You need to sand the tips a bit to make them fit.
