Hi mammacubed. I don't know how familiar you are with vintage machines. On pic 22 of my photos you can see a pic of a shuttle and bobbins similar to what you ( hopefully) will find under the slide closest to you as you sit to sew.
It is called a vibrating shuttle machine since the shuttle scoots back and for the under the bed.

Janey, do you own that book?
I bought an electronic version of the book by Carter Bays, and was disappointment in that it's only got a handful of pages to cover machines and Manufacturers during the 1890-1940 era. It has a lot on earlier machines, and decent size section on toys.
Since my collection is mostly 1890-1930 group, I'd love to get a reference book that has more information on that age group. But I'm leery of buying one unless I know it's going to have some solid info about the machines I'm interested in. They are not cheap books!

No, I don't own any of those books on ISMACS site. I think was able to download Cooper's "Invention of the Sewing Machine" from the Smithsonian web site.
Another case of what I would do if I won the lottery

Thanks! Yes that is what my shuttle and bobbins look like. I think I was picky to get 5 bobbins with the machine.
