It has decals on the top and sides of the cabinet and drawers with Eagles. The decal says "Cash Builders Union, Chicago, Ill" That is also stamped on the metal drawer pulls. Im not sure who made the machine or the date. No manual.
Okay JC I had to bring this machine back to the top again because I found out better information about it. There is a couple of these machines buried in this thread somewhere but I bumped into the information on the NB about it.
I believe it is a badged machine by the Standard Sewing Machine Company. "Cash Buyers Union" Arlington machines were badged by three companies, Standard, Free, and National. This one has the National type of tension, Standards type of Stitch length regulator. I can not figure anything out about this ones manufacturer for certain but I will say Standard until I am proved wrong.
Also the Standard that is on the NB has the exact decals on the woodwork as yours does.
