I call this the "fish bowl" because it has the characterists of a fish. It is turquois, white and gold in color. I can not identify the maker by the signature.
I found this item at an antique store in Milledgeville, GA. It still has the instruction manual with it. There is also a letter in the drawer to a farmer in Durham, NC dated 1943 form the Department of Agriculture. It also has a metal case in one of the drawers with items for the machine in it. It also has original thread and needles inside.More photos available upon request.
