Default I found this in our barn loft

Climbed up to the loft with my granddaughter to show her a mirror and a ceiling light that she might want and found this machine. After thinking about it for a couple of days, I think I do remember putting it up there years ago before I got interested in the older machines.

It's a Kenmore with the black crinkle finish. Looks like it is straight stitch only. The throat plate (?) is different from what I am used to seeing as it is longer than the bed of the machine. But there is no serial number/model number plate on it. I did find a number stamped onto a little metal plate on the back of it - 63X8642. I've been searching on the internet and can't match this number up to anything so have no idea what it is for.

Wiring is shot but it turns fairly freely although it feels really gritty. I'm working on cleaning it up. I'm surprised it is as good a shape as it is.

Would love to know what model this machine is, if anyone recognizes it. Any info would be appreciated.
