I'm using a bullet shaped shuttle from my Free No.5 machine in my Singer VS2 right now since the Singer didn't come with a shuttle. It works!! The shuttle holders/carrier (whatever that thing is called) are the same in both machines; so, I figured that the shuttle must work too. I can't imagine that there were that many different shuttle companies making shuttles/carriers back then -must of been just of few. If you don't mind trial and error then just see if the shuttle fits and works.
