The decals are very nice, I have yet to find a machine with flowery decals. I have mostly post 1920s machines with simpler gold decor. Your Queen is a good find. I could not find anything spot on regarding your model , there are similar Whites, but not fiddle base and with a different top tension mechanism. It needs further investigation, I'll bet you would get more info on the Victorian Sweatshop.

The solution for the treadle legs is usually to have it welded, it's well within doable. It's mostly a question of time and money. The second solution is keeping and eye out for a pair of treadle legs. They turn up, search ebay, craig list, maybe post on the mention VS forum, maybe tracking down a local source. Treadle irons can be expensive and go for next to nothing, even give away. With a bit of luck and patience a set of legs will turn up. It would of course help if you machine has a more common cabinet type.
