Needles and Attachments, for a Grover & Baker? . . .
Thanks to Glenn I was able to get my G&B 9 up and sewing, yipee!!
I was amazed at the needles I found in a small pin wrap in the drawer. The machine had a notched Domestic style needle in place, but it didn't sit very centered in the needle hole. Went digging for the other needles and pulled out ones marked Wheeler & Wilson, Weed, and Domestic (and one odd slightly shorter stubby one). The Weed seemed to fit nicely and is what I am using to sew with.
In the drawer was what seems to be a complete hemmer/binder attachment set. I thought it belonged to the G&B machine until I tried to put it in place on the machine bed. I also tried them on my Weed and W&W8 and they didn't seem to be the glass slipper fit either. I am hoping someone might recognize these and let me know if they go to this machine or belong to another oldie.
I love the mystery of these old machines!

Here is the hemmer in place. Just not right.
