https://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollec.../sil10-215.pdf On page 8 of the pdf shows the attachment foot and then how to attach the binder, hemmers and edgestitcher. I'm guessing that you won't find much info on your particular machine as there were so many made in Japan. I'm guessing probably it was made in the mid-1950s. Many of the 15 clone machines do not have a JA or JC number, but some do.
A manual for a machine much like yours can be found at

Thank you, wonderful links and information! I wouldn’t have known about the foot attachment missing, will be on the lookout for it. I have two Montgomery Ward machines from the 70’s and 80’s that belonged to me and my daughter that has been in the garage, didn’t have the heart to throw them away so I dug them out. After a thorough cleaning and oiling both are humming along fine! Forgot how heavy duty they were, my newestSinger is almost all plastic compared to the old work horses!
