Wonderful oldie! Congratulations on your purchase.
Check out "Singer Puzzle Box" & you'll see just how much they sell for - quite coveted among Singer collectors!
You can get a free downloaded manual from Singer web site (Singersewing machines.com) that should explain how the accessory attachments are used - some were very elaborate from the day when 1) most people sewed their own clothes, curtains, bedding, etc. and 2) sewing machines did not have built-in attachments.
When Mom was young, she used every one of those attachments!
