? about Singer Puzzle Box

Maceybaby, or anyone, here are my photos that I need help with. The first is my empty puzzle box. I have no idea which style it is. What stumps me is on the bottom the clip numbered 12 and 13. There are not too many that I have seen with that clip.

I have two styles of rufflers. Which one goes with this box?
Attachment 632439
Also, I seem to have two styles of shirring feet. Does this one go on the top section under clip 19?

And does this one go under the ruffler under clip 13? If not, what goes there?

I really appreciate any information that anyone can give me.
Thank you all so very much.

Well I Googled Singer Puzzle Box and thought I had found something. Looks like this is an earlier version than you have. lol

But then I found this one....go down several pages and there is a picture of a Puzzle box and the accessories are fairly similar to yours. https://www.treadleon.net/sewingmach...tachments.html

And then I found this one for sale. Who knew someone might pay this much?

This looks like yours, I think.

It's from the Singer booklet "Style No 3" from 1890. I have jpgs of the whole booklet if you want me to post them here.

Your box is a 7 or 8, and it looks like you've got parts from more than one and that second ruffler isn't from a puzzle box.
If you go to the link I gave in the PM and do a search for Puzzle Box, I've got an older thread there that I went through my collection and took lots of pictures.

They are still working over there, but due to changes with Photo bucket, they may not much longer. None of those pictures will show on this site anymore.

Got to go to work now, so no more time to play!

Thank you all very much for taking the time to reply. Each of you has helped immensely! I shall now sort through all of my "pieces" and see what I have.
