Hi Tammi,
The serial number is 10562xxx which dates it to 1891 and it's a 3/4 size VS Singer with the raised boss. I call it a 28 though this may be the wrong terminology for one this old. It came with an old walnut bentwood case and I'd love to find a period crank for it which it undoubtedly had at one time.

My VS2 has no motor mount, but my very late model 1913 27 (according to ismacs) has the motor mount. Now that I think about it, the 1912 28 also has a motor / HC mount as well.
