I believe you would receive more usable information if you posted a picture as you say 'new' but since there are no new Standard machines we know that you must mean it is 'new' to you.

A picture helps identify the model without knowing the numbers or the year.

National Machine closed their doors in 1954 so we know it had to be before that year:
Here are some details from the National Sewing Machine history:

"National was early into the badge machine business. Large department stores and mail order houses liked to sell goods with a name exclusive to their own business. National obliged by badging the machines with whatever name was needed -- if the order was big enough."
"Somehow National never came together after the war. The company soldiered on until 1953 but then the influx of Japanese models became too much.
National Sewing Machine Company closed its doors in 1954."

If you wish to know more about your machine I would suggest that you join one or two of the vintage sewing machine forums as they have experienced members who can ask the right questions and guide you through what ever problems you may have.

Ismacs is a very good site but their members usually only deal with antique machines.
There is a little information about the antique National on their website:

Do you mean an antique model that is "new" to you? Asking because I believe National Sewing Machine Company closed its doors in 1957. Here is an article that explains how to find model numbers on the old ones -- hop it helps!
