New Home sewing machine, series A

Description

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.
