I've searched thru google images and I have found some that look very familiar but none with the same pattern as on my machine.
Also havent found the any with the same cabinet, some similar but details off like the drawer pulls or the iron base. I found what i believe is a model number I thought about trying to restore it, the desk has few problems with it the late that holds the machine out of the desk is broken and some of the lamenate is seperated. As for the actual machine, not sure whats the best was to clean it.

Just go over it gently with a soft cloth. There will most likely be holes scattered around on your machine. Put a drop or two of oil in all of them, turn the machine up so you can see the bottom, wipe it down to remove any crud and oil everything that looks like it moves.
Take the plate off the front end and do the same. Careful, lay a towel down first so if you drop a screw you don't loose it. Also, if the machine has an inspection plate on the back, open it up and see what's inside.
If you find any gears they get grease, not oil. Vaseline will work in a pinch, otherwise find a lightweight synthetic. Don't use automotive grease or lithium grease. I've heard here lithium grease can dry to a rock hard consistency. There are some great tutorials posted here on how to clean your machine. You can work some wood glue under the lifting veneer and clamp it down again.
