Thanks Glenn, for the info about the needles. She actually has a couple extra too. Next investigation--try to find a manual and identify the feet!
Congratulations -- Doesn't that feel good?

They should help. There are some differences in rufflers and tuckers over the years, but similar. Also be aware that many times things that don't necessarily go with the sewing machine are found in with things that do.
If you are still having a hard time identifying them, you can post a picture. John mentioned when he saw your pictures, that he really liked the composition and the size of them. They loaded quickly on our "slow computers."
