We have one a little earlier then yours, and a later one (1925) that was one of the first machines to have a full reverse, and one of the last to have the "extra bob" on the needlebar drive. (this was the makers of the day trying to simulate the tug that a seamstress would give to each stitch, later dropped for cost savings once folks no longer needed to be convinced to use a machine)

The later one also has an egyptian motif that included a topless sphinx, leading to it's name as "the naked lady" machine.... lol
