I have a similar one. It does the chain stitch so it does not have a bobbin. I still have mine but it's blue. Mine did not have the wooden top on it. The home in the center front is for a special shaped clamp that holds the machine to the table so you can turn the crank wheel with one hand and hold the fabric with the other.. I have had mine since 3rd grade in 1963.

Needles and manual for KayanEE Sew Master
Does anyone know what needles are used for this little child's machine? Also, does anyone have a manual you would photograph and share with me? I have attached a picture, let me know if you cannot see it. Thank you, Betty

As for the needle see KAYanEE toy machine, need info. and needle designation needed toy Kay an ee It looks like yours would take the 12x1, which are no longer available. I think I'd try a 15x1 first, as suggested above (with flat on right). There are supposed to be substitute needles for 12x1, but I have read various reports about them being different depending on manufacturer and since they are round shank can be rather fiddly to install.
As for threading https://media.hibid.com/img.axd?id=4...OXVjbDccBAPsPj You can't see it, but there is a guide on the nose that it needs to go through before threading the needle from left to right. I looked at it, again, and I'm pretty sure that the thread needs to go under the disc with the spring on it.
