1884 Peerless B Embroidery attachment
Ok, I will admit that when I bid on this, I had no idea the age or how this worked.
I didn't even expect to win since I put in a bid and forgot about it....
But my opening bid won and after some research I know that I have now added another very rare attachment to the museum.
this is an 1884 Attachment made by Peerless (same folks that made the original buttonholer)
I will put up photos of it in use once I have tried it out.

it was missing the spool holder.
the hole that the holder goes into is a 1/2 circle. so I made the part, and ground 1/2 of the bottom off.

with a little filing, she fits great!

like an idiot I left it at work yesterday. My boss is also the Engineering Manager and he likes to have unusual mechanisms brought in and shared. you never know where inspiration will come from. This ratcheting mechanism certainly qualifies.
The first stroke of the drive arm makes it move out, then next stroke makes it move in, and so on. It basically is holding the "embroidery" material first to one side of the stitch, then the other. the result is the top material is held in place on the surface by the regular stitching.
