Inside is this machine. The machine was made in Great Britain. I thought I found, based on its serial number it was made around 1912. However, recent research on the web suggests it could be more like 1914. Like the last machine I showed, this one uses a shuttle. In fact that is what the “C.S.” refers to — cylindrical shuttle. SINGER sewing machine Model 99 & Singer 185J Models Hand Crank. $8.85 shipping. From Sewing Machines we have had with manuals (from which you can get a date) to data collected via the Internet here is a very rough guide you can use to estimate the age of your Jones Sewing Machine. Jones originally in or around 1880 started with a simply numeric list of serial numbers for all their machines. Whilst they continued this one.

'CSCS'
Serial Number 16335. Made in 1895
This machine bears the early Jones Rose on the bed of the machine and feathery decals.
It is most likely that this machine was badged for the Co-Operative Society's Chelmsford Star branch (CSCS).
Founded in 1867. It was called 'Star' because it hoped to become a star in the town and seems to have been an important part of the organisation.
The Chelmsford Star branch (CSCS) was one of the 1000+ Co-Ops who would have bought via the CWS, which was the bulk buying/wholesale arm of the co-operative movement.
It was originally called the Co-operative Wholesale Industrial & Provident Society, formed in 1863.
Generally/more usually/later, the Federation/CWS Jones machines had pretty coloured flowers on them and were presumably sold countrywide. Hence, for a branch to have ordered sewing machines from Jones with their own logo they would have had to be pretty large and successful, which the Chelmsford branch was.
'Federation'
A Family sized machine is known as 3/4 sized (whereas a Medium machine is full sized). CS stands for Cylinder Shuttle. Shuttles are not interchangeable with Singer machines due to the different curvature of the arc through which the shuttle swings. Dating information on this and all other Jones models is available from Alan Quinn in the NB Forum.
This style of decal was accompanied by the intertwined CWS decal in the centre of the bed instead of the Federation with gold background.
The decal does not have the teardrops.

From Jones advertising: 'This table was devised to economise space and is therefore suitable for small rooms. Supplied in Oak or Walnut... If desired, a Motor can be added thus converting it to an All Electric Machine.' Machines badged with the name Federation, were sold to the Co-operative Wholesale Society (CWS) for distribution and sale by the various Co-Ops round the country.'
