Default New Parish machine I just bough for $12

Hi all,
I just purchased this "new to me" machine at an antique store today.
It was marked $25, but the seller came down to $12 before I could say anything.

I thought the "attachments" would be worth that just for what I can learn in researching them.
Now, I've just got to convince the DW that neither the new machine or I have to sleep outside tonight.

All I can see is "New Parish" on the arm and the S/N 1030477P on the bobbin slide plate.
It did come with a shuttle and two bobbins.

A "list of needles" on the Needlebar.org website says it was made by "Standard Sewing Machines" and takes a 15x1 needle. Would this be an "Early" example of a 15 clone? Any clue as to how old it might be? It does have a nice "hexagonal" arm that I'd never seen before. Remember I'm new to the Sewing Machine collecting habit, I mean hobby.

Can anyone enlighten me on this machine? At least point me in the right direction to start looking?
