Super cool find today (well, three days ago, but I picked it up today). The nice sellers accepted my offer of 1/2 of what they had it posted for because they like the shows we do.. too cool.

That is a Peerless Buttonholer from 1887 (second earliest I know of) with original document and an 1898 Singer 27/28 Accessory set #11 complete with manual. They owned the machine that it came from and the machine was purchased in Santa Rosa (5 miles north of where I got it) in 1898.. they had the receipt. Not sure why this did not go with it...
