One funny thing is that three of the drawers have locked up so I can't check their contents. I think there are bobbins and more attachments in one of them. They should not be hard to open with the right key.
Oh since you mentioned the drawers; we had a discussion about the old days with the man that worked on my mother's treadle and my brother asked him "now why would anyone need a key to lock up sewing machine drawers" and I was quite surprised at the answer! He said that in those days it was a perfect hiding place for your money; that no one would think to look there that intruded into your house. Now don't break those drawers trying to get in there - be gentle! If anything I thought it would have been to keep everyone in the house from using the scissors!
