    Default Attachments for my "new" Columbus treadle.

    Surely not a complete set. The little white thing is plastic, and I have no idea what it is.

    No idea about the white thing but I love that crazy screwdriver. What's the thing that looks like a key?

    Kinda silly, but I figured out the little plastic thingy is the top of a spray bottle of something. Duh! There was a bottle of spray lubricant in another drawer and its top was missing. Also a bottle of oil that says nothing about sewing machines on it. Me thinks I will not use it on my sewing machines.
    And I think the key thing is a key. How do I know? I don't really know, but I could see that four of the drawers are lockable. They have a slit at the top in front, so something could come down into that slit and lock the drawer.
    I don't have the rest of the machine or cabinet here right now, so I will find out more about it later.
    I also found a few more feet, two loooong needles, and another key. This key has an tip that is triangular. Never saw one like that before.

    the key with the triangle tip is the typical key for a treadle cabinet - some are also square. Singer takes a plan key - more like a screwdriver end. The other key is typical of regular cabinets, and for some parlor style treadle cabinets.

    Thanks Cathy. When I get the rest of the cabinet here, which might be a while, I'll have to try the keys and find out which works where.
