I have the same New Home treadle as you and my serial number is 1054685 so mine is slightly older than yours. The treadle base and coffin top and machine are identical to yours. However I have four drawers, two on each side and a full drawer in the middle.I called Janome who owns the New Home records and mine is manufactured in 1891 so you are right about your date.
I also have a New Home treadle made in 1882 that is also a coffin top.
