I have a W&W #8, circa 1878-1880. Showing pictures of her goody drawer and attachments. The round disk is an emery wheel used for the needle sharpener that is attached to the base on the right leg. The one glass foot that came with the machine is the corder glass. By the way, the manual says to use ONLY the best Sperm Oil.

Oh - you have a part I want!!!! It's that shiny sort of square with the round part on the end (sorf of off the bottom of your picture). that is an underbraider that will fit a Singer type rotary machine. It was NOT sold by Singer, but by Greist in sets for that style machine, which included New Home after the switched to side clamp, and before Free took over and put the name on their machiens - which are top clamp and take a different style underbraider.
Interesting what ends up with different machines -

Love that one! It would tempt me for sure! I'm avoiding Singers, Kenmores, Whites, Domestics, but am struggling to resist a Wilcox and Gibbs, although I could get an Eldredge version, and the W&W oldies are for pretty interesting.
