Nothing unusual about that but in it was a receipt dated 4-2-62.

From a sewing machine shop in Farmington, NM. I had thought we had moved to Phoenix by then.
Nope. The buttonholer was bought for the FW. Well, I still have the buttonholer, but the FW is long gone. Wish I still had it. Mysteries are fun, aren't they. Joe
I have that buttonholer. It came with my 301 in 1956, but the case is a cranberry red color. I have made many a buttonhole with that thing, since I had 4 boys and 4 girls, and made much of their clothes as well as my own. It made the most accurate buttonholes very quickly. I really dislike making buttonholes on my "new" $2,000 machine. I've tried many times but can't get the hang of it.
Now I'm going to see if that buttonholer works on my FW.
