I too have one of these sewing machines. I found the original receipt with the one that I inherited. It was dated 1955. From what I have found this model was made from around 1954 until 1960.
It means that the sewing machine is the E1 model manufactured by Brother (the company). This would be helpful, for example, should you lose the manual and need to find it online, using the model.
