I can't tell you much about it except that I had one when I was young that sewed pieces of fabric together but it didn't have the electrical cord. I remember the motor attached but turned the wheel manually to sew. I probably came out of a box that came through the auction house that my father worked one or two evenings each week. There were lots of treasures/toys that came from there .... but sadly few of them made into today's possessions. I hope you find somebody who shares more information.
