It looks like a Singer 153 type. Can't see the feet or brass tag to get the sub-class. Ask the seller to read the brass model tag if you want to know more before you buy it.

Most of this series can sew with up to #92 thread, top and bottom, or #138 on top with #92 in the bobbin. If it has compound feed walking feet, it is a good machine for leather work. It can sew about 5/16 inch of material. Some models may sew a little thicker, but #92 thread isn't gonna hold 3/8 inch of leather together for long.

This type of machine will eat the top thread if you fail to hold back the starting threads.

Finally, this machine does not have reverse. You will have to spin the work around, or sew all around and over the starting stitches to lock them in.
