Etc...oh, I believe it is a 1958 machine??
do I need more info?

I believe this will be a 21 or 21A, the 21E does not have the "automatic" name on it, though it's very similar in appearance.
BTW - parts for these three are not all interchangeable, and getting parts can be very expensive. This is not a machine to buy if it needs parts, thinking you can fix it up cheaply. Best is to buy another that is in poor condition, but has what you need. Cams are also very hard to come by. Expensive if the seller knows what they have, and if cheap - pay for them with a poker face and don't smile until you have them out the door!
This is my husband's 21A
On the back - is the model number
Right above the number is a swing out door - where the cams go.
There is a lever you pull down to remove the cam
There are four cams, and each one has zigzag plus four stitches. A cam IS NEEDED to zigzag, but it does not matter which cam you have, so most often there is one in the machine even if it comes with no others. Check for this before you buy - or it's straight stitch only - and cams for this machine are very hard to come by. I've never seen them for sale on eBay except with a machine.
A Singer foot does fit, but I have no idea on sources for a 1/4" foot.
This is a hemming foot - it's what I had handy.

CD - yours could be a 21E - Viking used a combination of the "names" Viking/Husqvarna/Automatic and the logo in different locations and typeset on these machines, does not seem like a real rhyme or reason to it . . . When I was looking online, all of those that said Automatic were either 21 or 21A - but that does not mean there isn't a 21E with it on there . . . I didn't look at "all" of them. It's not really an issue unless you are looking for something like the tensioner - the bad part, they "look" similar, but key parts are different that make it so they won't fit and/or work on the other machines.
