Thread: Help Identifying Feet and Bobbin Cases

A couple of months ago I bought an older serger at an estate sale. There were several other machines there that I didn't buy, but the woman gave me a bag containing a pile of "mystery feet". Can anyone help identify these? Wondering if they are worth keeping or not. In some of the photos they may look rusted, but they're not - just a reflection.

#1 Marked 12483 HR 1/4

#2 Marked 12483 HR 3/16

#3 Marked 24983

#4 Marked 181157 Singer USA

#5 Marked MA21 12U829N

#6 No Markings at All - ID's as Adjustable Zipper Foot. Thank you!

#7 Marked 19334

#8 Marked SUSEI P 50

#9 Marked Pat USA AP7-96

#10 Looks same as above, but no markings

#6 is an adjustable zipper foot, I have one that fits my Singer 404

Thanks! One down, 9 to go!

My guess:

The last (2) photos of the bobbin case look like Kenmore, Janome, or Brother.

#3 looks like the straight foot for a 301A, I could be wrong with my guesses too.

# 1,#2,#3,#5,#8 all look like feet for industrial machines...#1-2 look like edging feet. #3 just a st. stitch...
#5 and #8 could be gathering feet for the same kind of machine..

I think you're right about the industrial machines. They had some there, but they were too heavy for me to move ... guess I'll chuck the bunch of them in the recycling bin.

12483 with the little flange on the side helps to do topstitching.

It's difficult to see, but I'd say the bobbin cases look very similar to the one of my old Bernina Record.
