The hand crank mechanism and the foot pedal are what were used operate and guide the needle. Take a look to see if the sewing machine features a hand crank mechanism and a foot pedal if it does, that definitely means that it is manual and therefore, vintage. True vintage sewing machines were manual, and as such, they will not feature any electrical mechanisms therefore, if the machine in question does not have any electrical parts, there’s a good chance that it’s been around for a while.
