Restoration project

This weekend was the last time I could use my (company)car to pick up free things.But the very last addition to my orphanage of electrical and non-electrical devices is also one of the best ones.
Or will be,because now it is very rusted and in dire need of cleaning.
It is another sewing machine,my eight,or to be more precise: a shoemakers sewing machine.
I don't now what brand it is,or in which year it was made.But it looks a bit 19th century to me.
On the side it says:"patent elastic",I assume to refers to the driving belt.
Many hours of removing rust lay ahead and then some repainting.A nice project for the summer.
