My "spokes" are in the upper right and the lining is the original brownish velvet.

A very sympathetic restoration. You have done such a great job with this. The puzzle box is fantastic, until recently I had never seen one.

I never thought of silver cleaner. That was a great idea, your attachments look great.

The Singer 27 Machine Manual can be down loaded from the internet in the PDF format that document explains the attachment usage.
