Here is the shuttle and bobbin cleaned up. (first pass anyway)
NOTE: the two tiny little holes in the arm for threading.
I did not know that there were holes in the bobbin brass ends until it was cleaned....

Ahhh... I have seen that AMAZING Howe machine photo before. I believe that is a picture of a Howe Model A (specifically the early version with the stitch length adjustment below the bed)
Thank you for posting such large scans though. that is in my collection of Image data now.
