Default What is this attachment?

Hi,

Can anyone let me know what the large attachment on the right is? My guess is a buttonhole or zigag attachment but I really don't know for sure. Any help would be much appreciated.

I would guess a buttonholer based on the rectangular opening.

Never seen anything like it! That would be my guess too. Maybe Joe,Rodney or one of the vintage gang can help you identify it. Interesting!!!

I don't know what it is. Perhaps a button holler? Macybaby would know. Hopefully she'll see this and tell us.

Nice! I never would have known that as a buttonholer.

Obvious to me it's a buttonholer.

I'm not the attachment expert either. Macybaby and Steve are. Steve for the very early stuff, Macybaby for everything else.
Neat buttonholer.

The Rainbow is one of those that was not sold much in the US - but way more in Europe and Australia. So it's rather rare in the US - just like the "red" Singer ones that Helen Howes has.
