      Hi, Scottwood93. :-)

      Per the International Sewing Machine Collectors' Society (ISMACS) Singer serial number tables, serial number 12064588 falls into this range of serial numbers, and was made in 1894:

      *snip*

      11,913,500 12,475,499 1894

      *snip*

      http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/serial-numbers/singer-no-prefix-serial-numbers.html

      Judging from that trapezoidal access panel, the split slide plates, and the circular needle/throat plate, it belongs to the VS1, VS2, VS3, 27, 28, 127 and 128 family of machines:

      Because it's a portable with a low mounted bobbin winder, it's probably a model 28.

      Your decal set is called Small Roses:

      https://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/decals/decal35

      Your portable case looks like it might be Set # 197 (Base [83317] and cover [83320] with winged ends and lock for model 28 machines, superseded by set 198):

      A manual for the model 28:

      About the Elizabethport factory where it was probably made:

      https://www.ericwilliamsblog.com/left-behind-in-elizabeth-the-singer-manufacturing-company-part-2/

      However, it's possible that it was made at the Kilbowie factory:

      Valuation isn't done here at Collectors Weekly Show & Tell. You can click the Appraisal link at the top of the page, but it isn't free.

      Alternately, you can consider this advice from one of the experts at ISMACS:
