I thought maybe the ones you called hemmers where for bindings.
Different feet mounts: Top photo back mount on Singer Lotus 66-1, middle photo side mount Singer 66, bottom photo screw mount on National.
Seeing your machine on newspaper reminded me...I purchased a machine at GW a few months ago and last week I got it out to play and inside the case a newspaper had been laid. All brown and brittle, I took it out to look at the year..it's from May 15, 1968, Oelwein Daily News....that evening around 5 P.M. a tornado hit this town (8 miles from here) and the town I live near killing several and million of $ of damage. Just found that interesting. Sorry, it's a bit off track but just thought of it! Obviously my machine was not injured!
I always love discovering the hidden treasures. Sad to read news like that, but interesting that the machine survived and now its new home is just 8 miles down the road. Enjoy your machine!
