Included were lots of attachments I have not had time to study yet. I even got the original receipt from 1919, and a history on the family that owned it.
Wow, you will love the Davis NVF for doing bindings! Also, since you have the NVF, you don't have to find the very hard to find Davis Long needles! Your machine takes regular 15X1 needles!
Thank you all for your concern about Tarzan. I have cried for a week, it is hard. I am just so angry that our housesitter didn't notice he was not drinking. Who would have thought? My vet said to always leave your sitter's with instructions to give the tiny dogs Pedialyte (spelling?)with their meals, just to be safe. These little tiny dogs do weird things when their family is gone.

Thank you Nancy, I too am so sorry to hear about your pup. We have 3 Aussies and it is hot here and we have water available in at least 4 spots. I know how heartbroken you are.
I am retiring Friday, and am looking forward to the extra time to figure out all the attachments. I have found some literature online explaining how to use them.
Actually my Davis came with a little original Singer envelope with 3 long needles. Maybe someone will want them.
