It looks complete, except for a way to power it (treadle, hand crank or motor). I think it was originally intended for a treadle.
When I told my brother about the machine from Germany, he told me the correct way to pronounce Junker, as it seems to be a popular German name.

Seems like there is a tad more info regarding Junker & Ruh machines than when I got mine. It, too, needs some way to power it. Mine also needs a bobbin winder. When I researching my machine, I found out there is not a whole lot about Junker & Ruh sewing machines, even in Germany, where there many different models. ( I searched for

According the the Junker history the name was
Karl Junker and August Ruh. There were a couple of patents that I found one from 1879 and the other 1886 which list his name as
C Junker and later
Carl Junker. It looks like the planes were by Hugo Junker
