Kenmore Cams
These are C cams for a Kenmore. They fit my Kenmore 95 and my Kenmore 1760. They come in a double or single cam. The second photo shows the cases they might come in, the Pattern Cams box or a small green plastic accessory box.
The last photo shows a metal cam. This came installed on my Kenmore 1760.

It's the first three numbers. I'm guessing for yours it's 158. Sears numbers all their sourced products like this. The first three numbers are the source code, who actually manufactured the item. 158.1760 would be the whole model number, the 158 means Maruzen/Jaguar.

Here are Cams for a circa 1968 Brother badged as a Bradford machine. The Cams are approx 1 and 1/8th in height 1 and 1/8th across the bottom and the opening hole is 1/2 inch.They are black with white numbering. They number one through 17 and then there is a white one that is for Blind Stitching.

I really need to get on this. I have several Brother sets and just realized they're not all the same. If you're showing all that you have, it's only half of the complete set. My set like this is two layers of cams in one box and feet and other fiddly bits in a second matching box. Mine number through #17 plus the blind hem but I'm missing #4 and #9.

I also have the second plastic green box that holds the attachments, a light bulb and screwdriver. Also have the Manual.

Cari, I have some of these too. They're in a baby blue box marked 'Automatic Pattern Keys' and it is missing four cams. Specifically #s 1, 6, 12, 18. But does have #4 and #9. If you want them, I'll charge you postage (from Australia) but you can have them for nothing.

Cool Mike, thanks. I have a few of these sets but one is broken across the 'hinge' part. This particular box I've also seen in white.
I actually have more cam sets than I do machines that take them. Here's something that will keep you guessing- Brother made machines that take cams, but there's no cam door or other obvious place to put them. Where do they go?
