Beauty or Beast?

Aw Well, it is Mine, All MINE!!! I am so excited to receive this sewing machine. My Aunt Patsy has had this machine sitting in her extra guest room for about 8 years or so -- I think I first saw it in 2003 - but I think she got it sometime before that. She tells me that she saw it at a garage sale, it was being used for a door stop, so she asked what the seller wanted for it. I'm sorry, but I cannot remember what she paid for it,

But knowing my Aunt, I am sure it was not more than $10...
Now My Aunt has moved to an apartment and has GIVEN the machine to me! I am so very lucky! I have been looking at it's various gears and mechanisms -- it is a very simple machine, but it does have the tension screw -- thats it at the top of the curve of the head, and it also has a bobbin winder. No where on the machine can I find a manufacturer's name though. Only the number 9484, appears on the botton of the slide opening for the shuttle.
If you know what this is I would appreciate any info you can give me -- but don't tell me to look on the singer dating site, or IMACS, I have done that already and the only new thing that I discovered is that it is probably refered to as a fiddle base sewing machine. There is a picture of a similar one at http://ismacs.net/jones/jones_fb.html but it is somewhat different. This Machine is NOT FOR SALE.
I hope in the next few days to do some sewing on it, it moves quite well, but is dusty and probably needs oil, so when I have done that, I will be satisfied that I could even make a quilt with it...
