1924 singer sewing machine need more info.?

Hi, i found an old singer at a garage sale. it has a serial number on it JA 729955, from what ive been able to find out its from 1924 and was manufactured either in new Brunswick or Quebec (two different sites told me two different place) but what i cant figure out is the model number of it in order to get a manual. I know nothing about sewing or about machines. There is no number on it and from the singer site the records from canada are not very good. any help? hoping someone else has been looking.

    Contact SINGER Consumer Affairs at 1-800-4-SINGER.

    This company has reasonable prices, but you will have to contact them to see if they can match a manual to your machine. http://gotoes.org/sales/SingerSewingMachineManuals/index.pl

    Try to type the serial number of the machine on the internet. Then write down all the internet sites that know this number and call them and ask them. If that does not work, remember it is from 1924 so in them days there were really no computers to record that everything was hand written. Plus I think Singer went out of business so you would have to call the merging company who bought them out and ask some questions also maybe that will help.

    I bought an old treadle machine which is now about 100 years old. I don’t have the manual and I couldn’t thread it. But I found an old sewing and craft book in a second hand store that had diagrams of how to thread up various models of sewing machine from that era and that solved my problem. Maybe you could find such a book in a second hand store. There used to be many handicraft books in the past, when storebought goods were less available and more people made their own clothes at home.
