Well if it was the right thing you could put it in a box and mail it to me !
And just because, I am betting this is a 95-xx machine.

This looks like an industrial, and the set-up is similar to my 31-15.

It is a very early portable. Forerunner to the FW. Popular collectible. Cute.

It's a toy, meant to be able to "follow" the child through to young adulthood. The manual that came with mine talks about "fixing the SewHandy" to "mother's sewing machine table" and sewing with mother. It does actually sew a nice chainstitch, and the manual talks about once a young woman has gone off to school, she can use the machine in her dormitory...

I looked it up on Ebay and it says it is a child's sewing machine. I was wrong. I read on a blog from England that it gave the idea to make a light weight portable. Later The FW came about. Sew Handy was acquired by Singer. There are a lot of them on Ebay right now, in different colors too. You too can have one. They aren't expensive.
