I picked this old china cabinet up Saturday.
And I mean picked up, the former owner had placed it on the sidewalk to be picked up
by the city [or someone like me]
It was rather dirty but cleaned up great. There was one piece of trim from the bottom drawer missing.
But when I got it home and cleaned it up I found it in the back of the drawer.
It is a beautiful piece of furniture.

So this week our neighborhood had a yard sale,(which I was in as well) and was getting rid of some junk that was taking up space in my garage when I get the urge to go out into my neighborhood and see what everyone had. Then I go up a few streets to find this interesting looking box that had an all to familiar name on it. So I decide to bite my tongue and purchase it for ten bucks and try to figure out what this tool does.
Now I know that you shouldn't buy things that you will have no use for and don't even know what their purpose is, but hey, its a neat little thing from the past that is a cool item to show to other collectors that collect singer tools and machines. But on that note if anyone knows what this thing is a "pm" would be nice.
I have my grandmother's singer out in the garage but it looks like a basic model it and not all to fancy compared to the ones you see on here. But thanks for the pictures and history. Ill be sure to see what I can find to get a nice complete set!I think it is a 1948 Singer button hole attachment. Now all you need it the machine to attach it to. You should have all of this to make it complete:
A complete set can go for a decent amount of money.

That would be it. I even have the table in tact!The original machine would look like this:
Wow, maybe if I find the original instruction book I can use it for repairing my buttons if I need any. Thanks for the help!You are set then. You need the metal cams for the bottom that determine the shape of the button hole and you can get sewing.
