With this style with the separate clamp, I would figure it could be mounted on a wide range of machines as you can rotate both the hemmer and the clamp to get it lined up correctly.

At least on this board - no one is going to say "wow! it's 40 years old!"

Can I suggest a web page dedicated to attachments???

Are some of these used to attach bias tape? The one right above the needles does not have the little tab to the left of it, and looks like something I used to use to attach strips of bias. It curves both edges around and sews both sides on at the same time.

Yes, there are some that are for attaching binding. In the top picture, the one in the front is a binder. It's got two tabs for folding top and bottom, I instead of one for hemming. Most sets will have 3 or 4 hemmers and a binder.
