Wonderful find: this antique arch-top sewing machine, made by the Willcox and Gibbs Sewing Machine Company, New York, N.Y. Willcox and Gibbs started manufacturing sewing machines in the late 1850s. This design machine was produced as a Hand Crack Machine, or a Treadle Foot Pump Machine, and an Electric Machine. This is a single-thread machine that produces a chain stitch.
This is the machine only. We have lightly cleaned and serviced this machine; it sews wonderfully. There are a couple of YouTube videos showing how to thread your Willcox and Gibbs Sewing Machine.
