I don't recognise this machine. which has an unusually wide and shallow case. It is clearly of some age. Any suggestions?

Re: What's this?
Hmm some of these things were made from old table top machine cabinets or lids in this case it looks like cheap ply and off the shelf moldings and a routed edge on the top board.
Note the vertical grain on the short would not have been my choice of direction aesthetically.
I blame " My fair lady" I was asked by a local professional touring production company to help with props and refused when they wanted to graft a horn to a nice table top machine using a jig saw to cut hole in the lid, also 1990s themed pubs where the reduced box height might have been to fit it on a display shelf.
No handle no winding hole and no picture of that side, possibly no motor....
