Thanks for clearing up the feet Joe. I don't own any high or super high shank machines so seeing them side by side and knowing what they are helps a lot. The slant shank does look a lot like the high shank foot to me.
$2 is a great price for any machine. You really can't go wrong for that. If the light bulb works, you've already got your money back.

I'm not too sure about the finish but it took seeing the crinkle finish on a White 77 in person to make me like it. It could be the same thing with yours.

I got a 7 Jewel too. One of our ... "AH HA" moments that lead to buying a very nice machine.

Rodney,

I've got all those feet in some form or another. When you see them in person you can really tell the difference.
Those Kenmore Ultra High Shank feet are really tall.

So far none of my other feet are a match. Can anyone lead me in a direction? I see MW machines on ebay but no attachments. I realize there was no MW sewing machine company of course.
I took a photo of the presser foot but the file is too big to upload here and I can't figure that out. Anyway, it's a slanted. high foot, not low shank.
Thanks so much!
