Inevitably when collecting sewing machines, one comes across various accessories which go with the machines. Shown below are some of the Singer items we have come found.	Singer Introduction

Singer Needle Case

Although we have several Singer accessory boxes this is the only needle case we have come across. The Singer emblem on the top appears to be an early version and the tartan pattern round the side of the case is labeled as McDonald, presumably this formed one
of a series of such needle cases.

Singer Puzzle Box

Whilst attachments for European made Singers came in cardboard boxes or tins, in America attachments could be supplied in a wooden fold out box which was patented February 19 1889. Usually associated with treadle machines the box was well made with dove-tailed joints and brass hinges.

The box folds out to reveal the attachments which are individually numbered. The contents of each box varied depending on the Model for which it was issued. This box would have been for Singer Models 27 and 28. This example is shown half open.

Singer Buttonhole Attachment

This interesting accessory was designed to make buttonholes. The instruction book appears to have a date code for December 1958 and refers to Singer Models 15, 99, 128, 185, 191, 221 & 222. This example came complete even with the original anti - corrosion paper and cardboard filler.

Singer Buttonhole Interior

The box is cleverly design so the Buttonholer and it's fittings are securely held in place.
