I don't think so, but it's hard to tell what the sale includes because there's no photo. I have the spool pin; I'm looking for the spool pin bracket. It holds the spool pin in position when it's extended or retracted into the body of the machine.
Included in my accessories compartment was:
Straight stitch needle plate
Straight stitch foot
Zigzag foot(a duplicate of the one installed on the machine)
Edge stitch foot
Roller foot (I like)
Plastic embroidery foot
a tongue-shaped gray plastic thing (I don't know what it is, but it's marked "Kenmore" - possibly a needle threader)
Screwdriver with gray plastic handle
Gray plastic tube, closed at one end (at first I thought it was a sheath for the screwdriver, but it doesn't fit)
Five clear plastic rectangles all marked "REAR" at the top and measurements (3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 13/16, 1-1/16) which I assume are used to make buttonholes
1 class 15 metal bobbin ( + one in machine)
3 class 66 plastic bobbins
5 spare needles
The spool pin and a wire clip that are waiting for the bracket in which they are to reside
Since I bought this machine used, I can't vouch for which of these items was originally included with the attachments, or what is missing that was there when the machine was bought.
The more I look around at this model Kenmore, the more I learn how in demand they are, (I don't know why I enjoy that validation, but I do.) and what a good deal you got.

I brought my new vintage Kenmore home last night. My 158-10402 turned out to be a beautiful 158-10301. I am not disappointed. It does gorgeous stitching and such a sweet little machine. I will post a thread when I get photos done. Thank you everyone for your help.

We got one of these a couple of weeks ago at Goodwill. I actually noticed it and mentioned it to J. She's the expert on how they work, I'm more involved when it comes to "cute"- I deemed this one cute! I was glad when she gave it more than a quick look. After a long time looking we decided to get it and I think we're both glad we did.
We've been making "Keatherweight" jokes for a couple of weeks now.

I agree, John, the Keatherweight qualifies as cute. (Being a 3/4 size machine gives it an unfair advantage, however; your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find a cute industrial!) Weighed on my cheapo bathroom scale, it looks to be about 18 lbs. (~8 kg.) a good bit more than the Featherweight's 11 lbs. (5 kg.) but it's convenient to carry because it's slim.
