More White, attachments this time
I know I will never have the need to utilize all of these, so I'm ok with not understanding how they work. I also know where to find instructions and tutorials if I should need to.
But I sure love having them, and it's really gratifying to a nostalgic vintage soul that these tools are virtually unchanged over so long time. Serial number 1010434 puts the machine around 1896-97, so the stuff is close to a 120 years old.
So, so, just one question this time:
What is that piece missing in the velvet box?

The tucker, top left (goes where the large screwdriver is)
Ruffler, Lower left,
Shirr plate, lower right
Underbraider plate (missing)
The large looped end screwdriver would go in the lower top - where that swivel holder is (you can see the empression from the loop end).
That small item on the far left in my picture is a guide that attaches to the ruffler. It won't fit in the box if it's attached.
The two plates tuck under the tucker in the lid of the box. The narrow hemmer foot fits loose, and may have been included with the machine and not part of the box, but I'm not sure on that one.
On your lower picture, I've very interested in the third from the left, bottom row. Looks like some sort of embroidery attachment (the second from the right is, but I'm familiar with that one).

The wood handled item - is it a screwdriver or a buttonhole cutter?
Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

So - I'm thinking that the top picture bottom row is from left to right, ruffler - unknown - embroidery - shirr plate.
Also, thank you Steve. Another tool for me to keep on the look out for.

The first one is a ruffler that belongs in the Attachment box. The second is the single thread embroidery attachment. This one loops the embroidery thread as it sews it down.
The third also looks like an embroidery attachment, possibly the kind with the swing arm that weaves the embroidery thread back and forth in front of the needle so it's sewn down in a sort of zigzag pattern. This is a variation of that type that I have, also for White.

Sorry about the pictures. I've had issues with my photobucket account and ended up moving everything and that broke all the links. Once I get it all straightened out, I'll have to repost some of the pictures on a new thread. May take a while though - I don't want to post anything that might get "broken" again.
