I've found some random things I can't match with their machines. Can anyone help me?

The attachment on the left, with the narrow slot, is the mystery. The wider one fits my Graybar (National Model B), and seems to be pretty common.
The bobbin case on the left is the mystery and the one on the right fits my White Rotary.
Thanks, in advance.

I came across some attachments like that recently. I initially thought "White" until I inspected further. I think they might belong to a New Home NLB or ALB, I think those are the models. There might be a "Free" that they fit.
Do you by any chance have a Featherweight? The FW bobbin will fit into the bobbin case. I don't know if it will actually work. I just know that a White bobbin will not fit in, but the FW bobbin will.
I don't have any machines to try them on (I probably should add a "yet" here, though
).

I hadn't thought of using a featherweight bobbin.

narrow slot fit machine made by Free - however later New Home machines are made by Free. The larger bobbin case looks like White, and I don't recall the smaller one, but I know I have a machine that takes one like that.
but then I have a machine that takes just about any US made attachment of that era.

Were there some other attachments besides the foot and bobbin case? Mine has an underbraider and some others.
Thanks for posting the bottom of the box. I hadn't noticed that on mine, but it looks like it might be the same as yours. I think it looks like -A-AE-AAE-ALB-NH According to http://janome.com/siteassets/support...anufacture.pdf lists each of those (between the dashes) as New Home models.
Here are some links to pictures of machines that I think will use this set of attachments.

ETA - I think there might be some New Home ALB pictured somewhere in this thread http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...ub-t62186.html Maybe http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...-t62186-7.html
