Old Bobbins I think?

Does anyone know what type of old sewing machine these are made for?
And what might be the tall thing be a thread cutter!
Thank you for looking.

My mom had a treadle with that bobbin, the long ones and the shuttle was the tall thing "standing" in the pic. It was a Singer.

The round bobbins look like the ones in my White treadle.

the little thin thingys are bobbins and they fit into the tall thingy[shuttle]. The wood thingy is a needle holder. The round thingys are bobbins.

Wooden tube in the back is either for needles or the shuttle.
Two bobbins on the left are White / Kenmore bobbins.
The tall pointy thing is a shuttle and the long bobbins are either for that shuttle or one similar to it.

The shuttle and long bobbins were used by many many manufacturers well up to and after WW II.

I have machines that use all these types.

Variety is the spice of life ..... or so I've been told.

The round bobbin looks the same as for my 2 White Rotarys use. Not sure about the others.

If you're interested in selling the shuttle, please PM me, I don't know if it'll fit my machine but it looks like it might.

I'm interested in the long bobbins. I bought a New Home Light Running machine at auction. It has the shuttle but no bobbins.

The one to the right belong to old Singer treadle. Not sure about the others.
