more junk - I mean "neat stuff"
I finally got the other half of my order!
Interesting stuff - some I know what it is and what it fits, some I know what it is but have no idea what it fits, and some I have no idea what it IS.
And look at these two beauties. I'm hoping one may fit my Singer 12.
DH is taking this roll of cord for his workbench.
And the rest
This shuttle does not look like any I've seen before . . . it's basically flat on top.
And it's always nice to get one of these in any bunch of stuff.
The very first time I encountered one like this was long before I knew about White. I though a bobbin had broken off inside. DH and I tried getting the pin out, but gave up and tossed it in the trash, thinking it would never be usable with that broken bobbin stuck inside. I cried when I got my first White and learned about what I'd thrown out .

Both rufflers should work on your 12
The brass offset edge guide is also a 12 component
I have a machine that uses that shuttle (and I have one) I will check when I get home I think it is the Phoenix F, but not sure.

Steve, the other one does not fit. The opening for the needle screw is way too narrow. Maybe Singer went to a narrow screw on later machines. However that one is has an arm that is just a bit shorter, but maybe that would not matter. Though on the full upwards stroke, the arm is just barely over the screw.
I cleaned them up enough to see the markings - the smaller one (the one that fits) has a round stamp on the back. The other markings are the same between the two.

They are both Johnston. I know I've read that the Singer 12 took a slightly different one and others would not work. I'll send it to you and you can see if it fits on your 12 -since yours is newer than mine.
