I'm just curious about the two needle plates next to the bobbins, since mine came with a couple of extra, too. They look the same, so why would you need multiples?
I have no delusions that this is an original "set". these are just a collection of old Singer 12 era stuff, so I think they were just what the seller had. Now to locate an EARLY buttonholer... (remember I have tradebait for those who might have old stuff like this...)
