Yep. 221, 127/28 models and 66. There's a rumor that a few 15's were also crinkle blackslide, but they are so crazy rare that I've only ever seen pictures of 3 different ones.
Attachments were sometimes all blackside, sometimes part blackslide. This includes some of the screwdrivers and 66 bobbins as well. I have a small collection going. =)
