I tried to look it up and from what I found they've been around since 1919 and they are still making them and they still look the same. It is a beauty though and from the looks of the case your's is an old one. I found a picture of a brand new treadle one.

I found references to the "New Butterfly" and to the JA2-1 and JA2-2 sewing machines. I also found some machines with pretty weird names - BEEBUTTERFLY, SUPERFLY, etc. I know these are Singer 15 clones, not sure of the quality of the machine, but it is sturdy (weighs a ton) and pretty and so I will clean it up and see if it works. But I have several other machines to work on first...
