Hi, I have just found this in my loft, seems to be working fine, has some spare parts with it but couldn't find a case for it, nor could i see a date on it.
was wondering if anyone could give me some info about it and any ideas of what its value would be.
Regards
Sam

Looks like a portable electric ..... with the cover of the case missing.
Or is that a "hinged" lid on the right?
If so, then the mechanism should "fold" into the cabinet.

There's no electrical parts, the hinge on the right is a lid to a small box which has the spare part, the actual machine is on a hinge and opens up from the base which also has one or to spare parts in and also access to rest of the mechanisms. On the left side is what seems to be a fold out extension of the sewing area. when I use the hand crank everything seams to work (pardon the pun) and its really smooth, doesn't jam, no squeaking or anything, I reckon if I knew someone who knows how to use it, they use it no problem, but I don't think I know anyone.

We can not see the hand crank in the pic !! Talesofthesevenseas and KC can probably give info !! This link may help !!

Can you please look for a serial number/model number on it.
Seems you are missing the wheel on the side - take a look/see at these for reference.
