Mishnjim will correct me if I'm wrong, I think the long wooden things are for making bobbin lace? Or for weaving...

I like the machine!!! It is a Model 28K and is a 3/4 machine. The production year is 1908 and it was produced between January and June of that year. 250,000 of them were made on that run alone.
A HUGE production run to say the least for that one, most of the time it is like 50,000 a pop. There were over 5,016,235 of the machines built during the course of the 28K.
But like everyone says it is a very nice machine, and the decals are in very good condition!!!! But I think it might be missing the handcrank assembly itself. If you have just a knob on the handwheel then the ratio is 1:1 with the handcrank attachment it was more like 6:1.

Okay the ratios are like this, when the handwheel turns on revolution the machine makes one stitch= 1:1 Ratio.
With a handcrank the crank turns one revolution and the machine makes 6 stitches= 1:6 ratio.
