I recently obtained an assortment of antique sewing machine attachments that were supposed to work with the machines I bought. They don't. The box that some came in had a patent date of 1930 and the sewing machines I bought were made in the 1950's.
But my trusty Singer man, Ted, had some knowledge and ideas about what the parts were used for:
 |
| This box has a patent date stamp of February 13, 1930 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| We determined that this "rack" in the box was actually a bobbin holder |
|
|
|
 |
| These are various sized rolled hem attachments |
|
|
 |
| This is a ruffler |
 |
| These appear to be an assortment of guides |
|
|
 |
| We laughed looking at the top item... thinking it looked a lot like a golfing divot remover, but decided that it might be a feed dog cover. The bottom is a faceplate cover. |

 |

|
|
 |
| This is an assortment of miscellaneous unidentified parts and pieces |
