I have one of those puzzle boxes that came with my Singer treadle machine.

It looks like you have hemmers and a tucker - if you have a low shank machine, you might like using these.

Often the little foot that the hemmers hooks onto is missing in these boxes - how nice that yours is present. :) A little soaking in Evaporust and a little polishing and you'll be good to go.

WOW.. that's quite a find.. very nice set of "rolled hem feet"
great for handkerchief hems and scarves.. gotta love that.

Wow! It looks like sewing machine feet. I was blessed enough to find an 1889 Singer treadle that sews like a dream. When you think about it....that was 120 years ago. What treasures we have.

I have one something like that. It went to my husband's great grandmother's treadle sewing machine. I was told that it was the attachment box that came with the machine. We have the sewing machine, too, but it need some work to get it up & running again.
