A most unusual White attachment, understated condition by seller!
I was thinking for some reason, that the mount on this item I won was for the old style White mounting yoke, but it's standard Low Shank. I was also surprised in how mint looking everything appears, like virtually unused!!

Not shown is that the manual and metal attachment box are pinkish. It seems odd if this was used with the White 673, as that machine had a lot of bult in stitches.
It seems odd that it was used with anything OTOH, cause it's a bit on the heavy side!

The attachment is made by Greist. It's an aftermarket accessory. I doubt it originally came as an accessory with a machine with built in cams. I've not been able to add one of those to my collection yet, but I'll bet it adds a lot of strain to the presser foot shaft.

It's nice you appreciate the condition of the item! I had one similar to this(in excellent condition) that I sold on ebay and the buyer contacted me that she didn't "like" the shipping charge and could I just put it in a padded envelope....don't think so!!! I politely let her know proper shipping was the ONLY way I sent things and I don't throw anything vintage or that needed to arrive in one piece in an envelope.

I've got a few of them - this one should work on any side attaching machine (like Singer) I've been watching for the earlier ones that have the different mounting systems for the earlier White (clamps to the bar) or National or Free.
I don't think this would add any more strain than the Singer zigzag attachment - it just has the stitches built in instead of having interchangeable cams.
