Yes we do. Heather is practicing making buttonholes for her Victorian wedding dress and the old adjustable buttonhole scissors work great. I showed her this and she is anxious to try the "stabby" type...

Makes one wonder - I suppose they cut the hole and then bound the opening by hand - I've got a few vintage clothing sewing technique sites bookmarked, would love to do that, but I know I never will, too many other hobbies and I won't live long enough to do them all LOL!!

I use to feel differently when I was 20 years younger, but now I'm trying to cut back and stick with only a few things - but sewing was one of my first loves anyway.

actually we have and use a VERY early buttonhole attachment (Singer VS2)

The "key looking" thing in the first picture with the tip on the number 16 looks like the "key" used to open canned hams, the type you wind the metal strip on.

I'm quite envious Steve
Although all the later ones seem to work (including the red 1960s one)

I am shooting towards one of each type....

Hi
In 1 picture is a key to open coffee cans. Middle bottom

In the picture 4 is a spool pink of warping thread for hand weaving. Great stuff also thimbles which my friend collects ( even goes to thimble conventions all over US )
Picture 5 is a pr of scissors with bent blade. I believe those are bandage scissors that my mother ( registered nurse) always carried in her starched white uniform.
What a wonderful treasure you have!!!

Those were in the button collection that I was given when I purchased a vintage machine. I thought the kid sorting the buttons was joking when he asked why I had bullets in with the buttons but he was not. I told him that bullets and buttons were stored together because they had the same beginning sound. The kid, by the way, is 24 years old.

Gee, your "attachment" pile is bigger than mine. One day I'll sort it out and see what I can give away.
