Got them all opened.

On the left, this is a very old attachment, sort of like a tucker. Seller called it a "cuff marking" tool. It is brass and it is marked Singer - and I didn't own anything like it.
Then is a neat box marked Singer -
Followed by a common Attachment box - Griest sold this style box with attachments for many different machines inside.
And last (from the large box) parts and attachments from a Demorest machine. I have a box of attachments that has the tucker and shir plate, but is missing the rest. This lot included the ruffler, underbraider and three hemmers. Extra screws come in handy.
The one part I'm curious about is in one of the two boxes.

Can you guess what got me excited?
I knew the one box contained attachments to fit a National Rotary Machine, so I took a chance and spent $15 on a "maybe"
Here is a better picture of them.

now for the bad news - it does not fit my Two Spool machine. Oh well, it was fun while the excitement lasted LOL!!
It's the same size and very similar, except it's got these "wings" on the outside (compared to the one I have that came with the machine).
![](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c363/TwoSilos/Sewing/SMAD/IMGP6673_zpsda096c46.jpg)
Now to figure out if there is another version of the Two Spool that takes a case like this, or if it's for something altogether different.

For reference - here is a picture of the correct canister in my machine

and showing how the "wings" get in the way - so if someone has a Two Spool missing a canister, it would need some sort of notch for the wings to fit into for this one to work.

Just a bit of looking, it is a canister from an earlier version of the machine. The example I found has a pivot point on the cover plate, mine slides on and off.
Though I'd rather not damage it, I think if we ground off the "wings" the carrier would work fine in my machine.

Here is a neat link that has quite a bit of information about the variations of the Two Spool.

Wow. I've never seen anything like that! I was pretty sure that was the thing that had you excited. I thought it might be a bobbin holder of sorts but I didn't know it would hold a whole spool! That's really cool. I mean really, really cool.
