I've seen some that had almost no puzzle box parts. Looks like someone had used the box to put all their 66 attachments inside. Singer has stopped using the puzzle box by the time they came out with model 66.
I'm pretty sure my two are box 11 but one has the 'tool spider' on the other side and was installed incorrectly so box wouldn't close properly, probably why two end panels missing. Also in that one was a clamp used for flexible tubing used in hospital -- maybe stainless steel with patent #758449 took a while to figure out and then wonder why in puzzle box. After some thought I'm wondering if they may have used it to clamp on the end of the treadle belt so it wouldn't fall through the top while threading the rest of it (like putting a clamp clothespin on).
I'd like to find one for the 15 type bobbins for my 15-30 or 15K26.
