      Does it say Domestic sewing machine co. New York?

      Yes it does say domestic sewing co. But also I can't find any serial number or letters.

      Domestic.
      "Machines were first produced as Norwalk, Ohio, and in 1869 the name "Domestic" was established as a brand. By the early 1870s the manufacturing rights were sold to a New Jersey based concern who then supplied their production to the Domestic Sewing Machine Co in Ohio.
      By the turn of the century, these two concerns had amalgamated, with production continuing in New Jersey until approximately 1906. In the years following, Domestic machines were produced in Buffalo, New York. In 1924 the Domestic Company was absorbed into the White Sewing Machine Co of Cleveland, Ohio. The Domestic brand name was still used well into the second half of the 20th Century."

      This is a Domestic B hand crank. They were made by the Domestic Sewing Machine Company from the early to mid-1880s though the 1910s, but that could be narrowed down with the serial number. I hope you were able to restore your precious family heirloom! These tiny hand cranks are fun to use.
