RARE Antique GERMAN Hand Crank Shuttle Sewing Machine ~ Beautiful Inlaid Case - $450 - (Fiddletown, CA)

RARE Antique Hand Crank Shuttle Sewing  Machine ~ Beautiful Inlaid Case . It is in antique used condition, some of the beautiful gold paint has faded or worn off , the wood case has dings , wood laminate peeling or bubbled up in a few small spots , view the photos closely for the best description , the Bobbin tire needs to be replaced. Unfortunately I do not have the key , I had to use the tip of a skinny knife to slide the locking mechanism to open the case ( when looking straight at the end with the locking mechanism, you slide the knife Into the gap and slide it sideways to the left releasing the lock allowing it to open ) It looks like a common skeleton key might open it . I can not find a makers name on it , the metal ornate tag on the outside of wood case around the key hole has anchors engraved on it ! Maybe indicating a maker ?  Thanks to a fellow Ebayer , he matched it to being German !
