Welcome Kevin! The cans are highly sought after by the people who need them and tend to be very expensive if you find one at all. All I can suggest is the usual sources like Ebay.

1. there are three styles of cans - which one do you need?
2. Since you need a can and some other parts - find another machine on craigslist in your area - or maybe goodwill. Online - If the seller knows what they have and lists it correctly, it should sell for $100 + (just the can), in two years I've only seen a few come up. Most people get the machine dirt cheap, and then whine when they find out how much they are going to pay for the can - but the machine without the can is only worth the parts on it.

Macybaby has the best idea. Can you post a picture of your sewing machine? I have a Two Spool with the spool case and can post a picture of it so you can compare it with mine. I think there was also a thread here on the Vintage board showing pictures of the three different cases perhaps started by Macybaby.

According to my manual one could wind zephyr (?) yarn or smaller yarns on a #50 (wood) spool by placing the wood spool on the spool winder. The manual refers to Initial or Pennant work two terms that I am not familiar with. But I am assuming that it may be a kind of cording work as it does mention that the design in yarn appears on the underside. Originally Posted by kevin g
