Oh my that's a beautiful machine. Joey likie!!!! Joey want's one too.
Yes, it's an HA-1 15 Clone. They are quite simple to operate.
The only thing is they need to be threaded properly and that's not too hard either.
The feed dogs drop with the round nob by the pillar so you can darn or monogram or what is that .. FMQ? ... if you want.
The machine has forward, 6 to 30 stitches per inch with reverse.
Just oil her up and treadle away.
There is a generic manual available but for the life of me I don't have a link to it.

Granny,
Here is a pic of how the top end should be threaded:
The tread comes off the spool, through the guide at the rear of the faceplate, down to the outside of the tensioner, up around the tensioner, over the little curved arm from the outside to the inside, down and through the spring, then up to the outside of the needle take-up lever. Through the take-up lever, then from there down down through the guide in the face plate, through the guide on the needle shaft and through the needle from the outside in, (left to right).
The needle goes in flat side to the left.
When you thread the bobbin end, hold the bobbin case in your left hand open side toward you. Put the full bobbin in with the thread coming off over the top pointing to your right. Run the thread through the little cuts under the tension spring so that when you pull on it the bobbin rotates clockwise.
I hope this clarifies it a bit. Sometimes the pics in these photo copied manuals are less than clear.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I can see now that it is NOT the Butterfield machine I researched... Glad you got her. She should be fun to use! You might want to use a trick someone else mentioned. To save those beautiful decals on the bed, place a large refrigerator magnet over them. The flexible material does not harm the bed of the machine, and allows fabric to slip over the top without a problem.
