Which machine would include this screwdriver

I know Singers included various screwdriver types among their accessories.

Which model or brand machine would this screwdriver have come from? I found it at a thrift shop Friday. I pulled the photo off of the Internet.

I wonder that myself. And I cleaned the one which I got and it turned out the clamped part was brass.

I had the assumption (possibly incorrect?) they were made by Greist or the attachments manufacturer.

Jon, I think you're right on that -- I got a screwdriver with a set of attachments (Greist) that I won on an e-bay auction for the Minnesota Model A I got for my cousin!

I have gotten that screw driver several times in attachment boxes and with vintage machines.

Those types of screwdriver have come with each of my 3 Singer Featherweights.

Looks like the one that came with my mom's Rocketeer. Only that one is black...

That looks like the screwdriver that came with my moms old Domestic machine.

That is a Greist screwdriver - it is not like what came standard in the Singer sets. Simanco screwdrivers do not have that collar on them. I have a lot of Singer manuals, and have not seen one that shows that style screwdriver. I also have several Greist attachment manuals, and that is what they show.

Since Greist also sold aftermarket attachments that fit Singer machines (along with a whole bunch of others) - finding it with Singers is no surprise.

Interesting. I've never seen that tool and I own Featherweights, too. Think I'd like to have one. Love the long handle.
