The machine should go back together and should actually sew - somewhere Cathy described how to get them apart - seems like a screw on the back and then the stitch lever. I think it is more fragile than the other small machines we have all posted above. I don't know if it would be considered a toy or if it would be a real machine. I kind of think mine will cheerfully be decorating my shop for a while.
