Usually, the best way to proceed is to look at pictures of
machines to see who made one with the same details. Then
you have a chance of finding attachments, instructions, etc.
You don't say what kind of machine this is - straight
stitch only, or zigzag. The earlier straight stitch
machines generally came from White, National, and maybe
one or two other companies. The later straight stitch and
zigzag machines were usually made in Japan by start-up
companies, but "clones" of American machines.
Look at the ISMACS site if it's an older machine. Use
Google.com to find sites with pictures of later machines.
There is a lot of information out there.
Good luck.

Capital/Capitol and several others were made in Japan in the 50's and
60's. They are rather sturdy machines often based on a Singer model
machine. Lift the machine up to see if there is a name stamped on the
base. Often these are made by the 'Happy' machine company in Japan
who badged machines for several dept stores in the 50-60's. $30 seems
a fair price for a working machine. Make sure it all works first.
