I do not have any pictures available at the moment.  The machine sits down inside the table style case, which I believe is unique for the time, 1883.  The case has 5 drawers.  It was made in Massachusetts.  It's a series A, number 404023.  I have all of the attachments.  Everthing is in excellent working condition, however I replaced the leather treadle belt.  I would appreciate any additional information.

The tool must be old because the pieces are hand riveted together.  As you can see in the pictures I have partially opened it.  The piece that opens is the cap on what looks like a well that shows in picture 2 with several ribs embossed in it.  The inside of the well looks like there may have been some charring like maybe tobacco embers or something.  The sharp end has never been sharpened and is stationary.  I can't imagine that it is valuable but I would like to know what it is, what it does and how old it it.

This mantel clock was given to my late uncle as a gift for many years of service working for Anderson Little Co. in Fall River MA. My Aunt wants to know it's value an asked me to help with an internet search to try to make that determination. Any help would be freatly appreciated.
