Miz Nancy...there's a picture in the Vintage Machines Photos thread of "Edna" and her "glass slipper"....:)
The idea behind them is that the person stitching could then see the line of stitches being formed.
It was patented on May 6, 1873...here's the patent application.

Charlee, very interesting article and drawings. I went to the photo shop and looked at your machine. Yes, I can see how the glass slips into the foot - they are actual inserts! Oh and you have some beautiful machines! I wouldn't want to mess up those decals either!
I have the same Singer 9W, and a Wheeler and Wilson 9W - so those feet with the inserts would work on those machines too?
