Just gorgeous! So glad you saved her from dismemberment. You have a rare screwdriver -- the one with the coiled wire or corkscrew-like handle. I think it's usually found in British sets. The loop-handled screwdriver (or is it a stiletto?) is original to the box. I think puzzle boxes came with 1 large and 1 small looped screwdriver, and a looped stiletto. I recently found some videos on how to use the binders, and this person has several vintage machines and sets of attachments. She explains some of the parts in the puzzle box:

The videos are great...I am going to inspect my box and see what doesn't look like it belongs!...I think my looped item is a stiletto and how interesting that the one screwdriver is something that is rare...you learn something new every day.
Wish someone in the know would do a video or something for all the attachments that come in the boxes.

Congrats! It would have been a crime to make such a beautiful machine/cabinet into a table! So glad she is yours!

updated pic of the puzzle box...not sure if it's all in the right place but by going by the diagram in the manual I think I got it right. I didn't realize that that hemming foot had tipped over but it is there in the second section to from the left.

What a beauty! It would have been a shame to take it apart.

for reference - here is what the complete set (less needles) would be.



There should be a narrow hemmer foot, even though there is no holder for it, the one Steve pointed out is for a different style machine and in there by accident.

Oops you are right I was trying to figure out which would work and accidentally left it in there. There were several attachments/feet in the box that look like they would fit a low shank White and there was the "trashed" White Cabinet from the same consign-er so maybe the White stuff originally went with the White cabinet.
There is even a strange looking piece that is marked Wizard that might even go with a different machine LOL
