It's a model 128 (it can be a bit hard to tell dimensions from photos, but a 3/4 sized version of model 127 which is identical but a full size machine). Decals are very much in line with my 1934 model 99, so I'm guessing yours is closer to 1936 than 1948, or somewhere in the middle. The problem is I don't know how all decals types on the 128 looked like, nor when the changes happened. I know other models like 66, 99 had a distinct development in decal pattern. Closer to 1930 and up the decor turns simpler and simpler, black and gold only.

Your machine has the larger spoked hand wheel, which leans twoards a machine originally set up as hand crank, and later fitted with motor and lights. At the time it was sort of an upgrade ready made for the owner when she was ready for it.

I don't know what the winding lever is, a hand crank is usually larger. There should be a black metal lever inside the bent wood lid, together with a box of accessories.
