That would be neat if you could get it back up and sewing. It does look like the screw for regulating the stitch length is missing. Also, I think that it takes an odd needle system. I don't see a presser foot, but it looks like it might be a low shank!?

I was hoping there might be something about your machine on https://www.naehmaschinenverzeichnis...naehmaschinen/ but couldn't find anything.

Some images for Nothmann machines, both fiddle base and rectangular found at

Thank you for all of your help I really appreciate it! I tried doing a bit of googling but this brand seems to be rather elusive and the ones I can find are all fiddle base! It does have the presser foot and stitch length screw, I had just removed them when I gave it a wipe down because it was completley covered in grime! It is a low shank and the needle appears to sit with the eye facing towards you as opposed to sideways like the singer. There is still a needle in place but I havent been able to get it out yet with the screw, will definetly need oiling. But it Is nice to know the manufacturer and a rough estimate of its age!
The 27 is my 3rd singer machine but my first one with a motor, which I've not tested the motor yet. Going to check through all of the electrics before risking electricity But the mechanism does work by manually turning the wheel!
