The attachments from top left:

Ruffler, ruffler, NO IDEA! :lol:
Shirring plate, adjustable hemmer, looks like a braider?, a bobbin holder out of a puzzlebox, seam guide.
the fan shaped thing is also out of a puzzlebox, held the tools, binding attachments, and a foot holder for a puzzlebox(?)

what would we do without you lady...smile I knew the rufflers, but that was it...... :lol:

On the far right side bottom of picture you have a long strip of metal just above it on the right the piece with the slot, is used by screwing on the top plate to line fabric up against so you can keep an even seam width. I had one on an old 1929 elna sewing machine. Was a short wide screw to hold it down and keep it from moving. Mine was alway getting knocked crooked, lol.

That is a great find and you got it at my kinda price!!

I might have a manual for that particular buttonholer but I am goig to have to dig for it in my laptop. I have over 1000 manual in here plus that ones i am buying up so there is a strong chance I have it. I have seen only one other buttonholer like that before at a flea market but they were wanting $50 for it and I left it there.
