Thank you all for the wealth of new information and when I get time to play I will hopefully be able to answer more questions. I hope I can find the end of the Singer guide in the box of goodies...I enjoyed watching the video on how to use it!!
No apologies necessary. Sorry your "plate" is so full. Perfectly understandable. Thank you for letting us know.
Actually, your Singercraft Guide is the the "No. 1" and will not have the blade. I do see the button, which from what I read, is usually missing. On this page
http://www.knitting-and.com/singercraft/editions.html she says that you can do gathered puffing, that can't be done with the later ones. I think most of the instructions on that site are for the "No. 2" guides. I don't remember seeing any instructions for the "No. 1." I'm thinking that your "guide" pre-dates your machine, which isn't all that unusual. I enjoy seeing other "goodies" so I hope when
you have time you can post some more pictures.
Here is a picture of the knee lever for my 1928 99 that has the barrel end.

Take care. I hope things go smoothly for you.

If the handle does fit in the hole and actually engages the controller. I'm wondering if it may have been adapted to be able to sew using one's hand on the handle?? rather than using one's knee.
