My Collection of Vintage Sewing Machine Attachments

Plus some Odds 'n Ends

Please, Don't ask me to give a Value on Your Sewing Machine, or send large email attachments with graphics of your sewing machine, all emails asking me for Values will be ignored. There are too many variables involved in giving estimates of Value by email.

Not For Sale-No Instructions
The Attachments in My Collection, are just that, I Do Not have copied Instructions for them, the Attachments in Vintage Sewing Machine Attachments, have Graphics and Directions for ordering Copied Instructions for using the Attachments.

Please Notice, there are TWO separate areas for Sewing Machine Attachments, the Area My Collection is my Personal Collection, they aren't for sale and I can't fax or email instructions for them.

A List of Machines and Their Attachments--Part 1...with Machine and Attachment Numbers

A List of Machines and Their Attachments--Part 2...with Machine and Attachment Numbers

FeatherWeight Cabinet

My first Item is my Pride and Joy, I never dreamed I would find one, about a year ago, I attended an Estate Auction that had a FW Cabinet advertised, I went out of curiousity, I couldn't believe that's what they had, much to my surprise, that's exactly what it was. Why, the heirs of the Estate moved the ladies belongings from a large City to a small town for the Sale, I'll never know, but I'm glad they did. It's in great shape, there are a few scratches where the machine was put in the Cabinet, (not on top) and I've shown the numbers on the metal piece inside the Cabinet, it isn't a Reproduction, Nobody could make the wood smell like it does, or give it the same look that an Authenic Cabinet will have. So, take a look.

121706 ZigZagger

My next item is an old ZigZagger with the Number 121706, it has the Original Box and Instructions, this came with the First FW I bought, I'll never sell my first Machine, it's my Buddy, as it traveled with me when I belonged to Silver Dollar City and to other Shows.

Blindstitcher

Machine Pinkers

I have two of the next Item, a Pinker, the one in the Graphic has a shiney finish, it came with one of the FW's I bought, I don't have the Original Box for it or the Instructions, the 2nd Pinker I have, has a Godzilla finish and is in the Original Box with Instructions. Both Pinkers have the Pinking blade with them, an optional blade was a straight blade, similar in looks to our Rotary Cutter blades, that was used for cutting strips or trimming, the number on the Straight Blade is either 221242 or 121242, I can't determine the first number from my Booklet.

Original Vintage 221 Throat Plate

I didn't remember I had this piece until I started taking Graphics, Notes, and Numbers, it came with the FW Cabinet and is a CoverPlate #121309, my Book shows it as exclusively for the 221. A dealer in Hannibal, Mo. that had been with Singer her entire lifetime, told me to use a CoverPlate from one of the old Buttonhole Attachments, that's what I used just to try it, I don't use the FW for Free Motion over a long period of time.

Small Cloth Bag for White Treadle

Next is a little Sewing Accessory Bag that White sent out with ??? to a Consumer, I wish the lady was still alive that had my White, I want to know what was sent in this little bag?

Washday Wringer and Tub Holder

My mother and aunt both tell me they were glad to get rid of this item, it holds tubs during washday, and has a Hand Wringer on the top, I loved it when I spotted it at a Sale, I immediately saw quilts on it.
