I bought this sewing machine from a thrift store recently. I need to order some parts for it but it doesn't have any labels or manuals so I don't know the model number. Does anyone recognize what model this might be?
Thank you!

I think you have a Vintage Brother Sewing Machine 273C
I found an identical looking sewing machine:
Brother Sewing Machine Vintage 273C With Hard Case And Accessories www.ebay.com/
Brother sewing machine serial numbers are coded to indicate the manufacture date of the machine. The letter and first number indicate the month and last digit of the year the machine was made. Because the first number in the serial number could correspond to a year in any decade, you need help from Brother International Corp., the machine's manufacturer, to determine when the machine was made.
You should have a steel plate at the back or the bottom. If you don't, take it to a sewing repair shop. They will tell you what parts will fit the machine.
This looks like a VX 1140.
Brother has a website with support email, chat, and voice at www.brother-usa.com/
If you email them your image they could confirm and also help direct you to parts, etc. Good luck!
