What the heck is this???
[ATTACH=CONFIG]554083[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]554084[/ATTACH]
I just got a new to me treadle which came with a tin box labeled 'Attachments' on top. Probably most of us old, old sewing machine lovers recognize those boxes. 'Old' as in old sewing machines...not us ladies! It is filled with Greist attachments. I know all the others in the box but this thing is a puzzle to me. Pretty cool shaped little item but what the heck is it? My machine is an Improved New Companion from (I'm totally guessing) 1910???? Just got the girl home last night. A good cleaning and beautification is in her future then it's back to work she goes. I'm so excited! I will be posting before and after pictures.

That slot in it looks like one that you feed ribbon or elastic through... but I can't figure out HOW this thing can work with a sewing machine. Sometimes people throw other doohickeys in with their machine stuff. Maybe that's where it came from?

Is there a part number on the foot? If there is, you can look that up on the web under Greist with the part number. Sometimes you will find a part like that on EBay and it will tell what it is for.
If memory serves me correctly the Greist feet will fit a Featherweight and maybe you can figure out what it is by looking at Featherweight feet.
