Parts questions
I recently acquired a box of miscellaneous parts and am looking for help identifying two.
The first picture is two face plates, the one on the left is from a Model 66 circa 1905, the one on the right is unknown but has part number 86723. All 5 of my 66s have the same shaped face plate as pictured, but the one on the right fits right on the front and everything lines up. Any idea what machine the one on the right goes to?
The second picture is a small metal cam. There is no part number on it. Any ideas as to make/model it fits, or any direction to point me in to look?
I have tried internet searches for both, but it's really hard to narrow it down.
Thanks.

There were several face plates with similar design (15, 201, 221). My first impression was 221 as I remember they changed it a bit over the years, <<<link>as I remember reading about a short leg and long leg. Of course those are all different shape. I finally figured that perhaps the number was something else, so I tried 66723 and bingo! It is for a 101. A parts list can be found at https://www.supsew.com/download/Sing...-10,%20-11.pdf and page 125 of the pdf is the plate 9153 of 66723.

How in the world do you figure out this stuff?? I did wipe off some more gunk and it is part number 66723, which if I'd put on my readers to look at it in the first place I might have figured it all out myself by searching for the correct part number.
Just for fun I think I will try it on a 66 to see if the machine will still sew.
Thanks!!

I've been there, done that - more times than I care to think about. As it was, it took me more time than I care to think about, to figure that it may be a different number. I got lucky with the first number being a 6 rather than an 8. I really didn't want to go through all the numbers that it could have been.
Interesting note about it fitting on a 66.
