as a person who was adopted twice in his life, I cannot express what a difference it makes to be "real" emotionally.

When my ex and I were about 3 mos away from beginning our divorce, we had begun the process of me formally adopting her Daughter as my own. The Judge sensed the tension between my ex and I and took me aside to ask me if i was sure i wanted to do this with a "rocky" marriage. I replied that this was between my Daughter and I and my relationship with her mother was secondary to that. Funny side story: when my ex and I were being interviewed together the Judge asked me why I wanted to adopt her. I replied "It's the only way I can legally beat her" He understood that it was a joke, my ex did not. Later when he was interviewing my Daughter we hear the uproarious laughter from his chambers, he walked her out, made eye contact and pointed at me saying "you two deserve each other" It turns out he asked her the "why" question, and her reply was "how else can I collect on his insurance?"

Congratulations on the adoption! It's a long road to get there.

oh what an afternoon. I went thru those goodie boxes. dirty... rusty... stinky... I started cleaning and thought "this is nuts, I will never get done" so I just went thru each box and dumped out the dirt. threw out all the bent needles & pins. I only had one handfull of buttons that I added to my button bottle.
just a little bit

I do not know what things do but these two look really different.
the first attaches funny with a screw in the back
the second is....???

Rodney

The first is a ruffler and the second a tuck marker. Don't ask me what they fit but they are old, like SteveH and Macybaby type old attachments. I see the tucker is a New Home. Very nice get!

Macybaby

like Rodney said, they are a ruffler and a tucker - but from very different sets. The tucker is quite common, and what you'll find in most top clamp New Home attachment sets.

The ruffler is much older, and from a Johnston set. Not sure what it fits though.

Macybaby

Johnston sets typically come in longer cardboard boxes with metal reinforced corners.

This is a New Home set - comes in a red box



This is a White Set




And this fits Demorest (only machine I've seen with the notch for the needle plate)




And this one - I'm not sure what it fits, as it does not fit any of what I've already got. It did not come with any plates, so that makes it harder to figure out.



And a few of the ruffler - yours is missing the screw and shirrer - that gets removed to use the ruffler with the bed mount shirr plate (slide).





The one you have looks like the Demorest or "unknown", and it could be something different too. The Demorest has a needle hole that is noticeably offset, the "unknown" has the needle hole centered with the presser bar hole. I have several for White - and all of them have the set screw hole to the side, not the back.
