BTW - it looks like you have a few WW/ Singer w9 feet in there!

My husband enlarged the picture - there is a bobbin case, but no two spool case.

Fasten them all to a large board and hang it over your sewing machine, for decoration. Well, that's what I'd do.

I just had to tell you I laughed when I saw your photo. Guess I'm with Nessie on this one, I would have to use them as a decoration too. Don't know anything yet about those old attachments, but if I keep following this thread, I'll learn! I did have my eye on a puzzle box full of old attachments last summer but didn't buy it. The only thing I'm really keen on these days is a good straight stitch, even tension, and good fmq machine! Love learning from all of you vintage experts!

In the picture, next to the green Singer box, there is an attachment with a blue steel star on it. My E J Toof's ruffler attachment has a star like that. It was maybe a signature for them since I have seen other Toof's attachments made for various machines with that design on them.

Yep, looks like my stash, too. Gotta go through them and see what I've got and who might be able to use them.

Christmas tree ornaments! I love this idea. Just add a few 2 1/2 inch fabric strips as garland and you are all set! Congrats on your find!

LOL, you can always string them and wear them around your neck, use them as zipper pulls or make earrings!! JOKING!! I have so many like this from my mil and know I will probably never use them. I do love the idea of a sewing machine inspired Christmas Tree!!
