Default A Damascus Treadle..........

My friend gave me a Damascus Treadle sewing machine today, that had been owned by her MIL who died several years ago. She was in her nineties at the time of death. The machine is complete, but needs cleaning. It has the long bobbin that lays on it's side. I'm wanting some information about it's age. It's in a good cabinet, which has no drawers, other than a large pocket type drawer on the left hand side, with a lift-up lid. On the right side of the cabinet is a small wooden ledge that has spool spindles on it, for thread storage when not in use. The front of the cabinet has two little doors that open to make it easier to sew. They are only about 5 inches from top to bottom. I can't find any info, and will try to get a picture. Can anyone help me?
