Default Need help identifying some feet and a box

I'm thinking of buying this lot. I'm not sure if these feet were originally in this box, but the box is interesting. I recognize some of the pieces, like the early underbraider and shirring plate on the upper left, and the tucker and ruffler.

I'm really interested in the detachable hemmers. I circled one and labelled it "1". The slide-in style is similar to the hemmers from the early 66 back clamp machines, except they're side clamp. There are two other hemmer pieces in the upper left and a binder on the lower right that look like they would slide into the #1 shank. What concerns me is that the clamp part of this shank, the part that is screwed to the machine, appears to be too far to the right. It seems like the needle will not line up with the needle hole. So I'm wondering if this piece is adjustable. I can't tell from the picture.

The other question I have is about the piece I labelled #2. What is it?

The other binders and hemmers are interesting also. (There appear to be some duplicates.) I haven't seen this style before and I wonder if they are Singer.
