Joe and Judy,
Yesterday I didn't see the numbers on the plate- they are so small but walking past the machine this morning the light was just right to show indents and sure enough it was the serial number-119,298. According to the info on ISMACs website, this machine dates around 1879.
The young woman who gave her up said her mom loved to have old machines as decoration. Yes, that is mop inlay on her bed. Gave her some oil and she is now moves very smoothly.
Thanks for the help folks.
Best,
d
