Oh that's a lovely thing. Wish I knew more about it, but I was immediately reminded of one of the early books in the Elm Creek Quilt series of a young woman who came to America with a similar machine.
Maybe one of the other posters will remember which book that was and it might be an interesting insight to your machine.

Welcome to the QB from SE Michigan! This machine is so beautiful. I don't know a thing about this one but wanted to welcome you aboard. I am pretty sure someone will be able to help you out with information about this beauty. Again welcome to the QB.
