The silver grommet is used to make covered buttons. It comes with a kit which incudes a soft plastic mold, which holds the fabric and top of the button. The "grommet" is used to force the back into the button form.

First picture, second row, center: Might that be a cam follower for a bobbin winder? The hole in it looks like it might take the pip end of a spring.
The two nuts on the bottom row also look like they might be off a bobbin winder. The only place on a sm that I know of with a square nut is the back of a bobbin winder, on the eccentric screw that holds the cam and cogged gear together.
The spring thing (first pic) might have come from a ruffler, or something like it.

I forgot to mention. When I found the spring, it was wrapped in tissue paper, separate from the rest of the parts. I want to say it came with the box of (greist) feet with the FW, but I'm not 100% positive on that...
Hah! Thanks for this! That Black plastic piece isn't part of that same set, is it? I suppose that because I don't have the whole set, and if I bought a set I'd get these pieces, I might as well recycle it (them)?

Top picture, middle row first 'thingy',looks like a J. Is an upper thread guide for a featherweight . Ask me how I know? Been looking for one for a while. Finally found one on ebay last week. Good luck with the rest of them.

You're right, it looks very similar. I compared it to my upper thread guides though, and the metal on the mystery J thing is thicker, and it's shaped somewhat differently. There's also no way to secure it to anything. I'm at a loss.
