Eldridge machines were manufactured shorty after the Civil War, and eventually consolidated with the National Sewing Machine Co. Interesting history; see ismacs.net/
There is an "Elridge "E" model listing on ebay for $119 USD.
I'm sure the box base increases the value, but how much - I'm sorry to say I have no idea.
From what I researched, this machine looks like it is from 1916 or 1917.
Eldredge Manufacturing Co. was on buisness in period 1869 - 1879 with factory in Chicago, Illinois (100 State Street, Cor, Adams).
1st May 1879 it became Eldredge Sewing Machine Co. (factory: 199 State Street, Chicago, Illinois).
On your sewing machine is written Eldredge E.
I found on ebay the exact same model with the same pattern and the same motor, but without cabinet: Vintage National Sewing The Eldredge E Sewing Machine w / Foot Controller, "runs fine but as always could use a tune up", the price is US $99.99 www.ebay.com/
Sewing machines with a cabinet can be quite expensive, for example Antique Sewing Machine Cabinet Eldredge Rotary Treadle sells for US $439.99 (discounted) on ebay www.ebay.com/
