Another neat set of Attachments
These came in a cardboard Johnston box -
I bid on them because I didn't have set like these, but I was expecting them to fit a machine I already had.
Here is how the hemmers mount to the foot.
In the listing, I didn't see the shuttle well - and after getting a getting my hands on it, I figured they were not going to fit the machine I thought they would. I was sure I didn't own any machine with a shuttle like this . . .
Anyone have any ideas what this set may fit?
As it turns out - they do fit the machine I expected them to fit - imagine my surprise when I opened the slide and saw this - is that a sign I have too many machines?

I was wondering of someone on here would know what that machine was - so I waited to post a picture.
This is a Royal St. James. Another interesting item about this machine - it sews forward regardless of the direction the flywheel is turning.
Other neat features - the presser foot lever is on the front of the machine, and the flywheel is flat, not rounded. That's a Singer handcrank sitting next to it -does not go with this machine.
Also - what is referred to as "New Royal, old style" is a newer machine that is significantly different from this one.

I watch eBay pretty regularly for vintage machines (still looking for the Eldredge long shuttle machine) and when one comes up I don't recognize, then I research until I figure it out. This one showed up and I had no idea what it was. After researching, I thought it was neat enough to add to the collection, even though it does not take a Boye aftermarket shuttle.
