- A short video of the puzzle-box that goes with one of my sewing machines. I've got more stuff about old machines on my blog, at www.throughouth...

I have now collected 4 beautiful treadles. One is froze up but I'm sure with cleaning it will work again. I also have 5 or 6 out in the garage in various states of bad disrepair. Some in pieces even. I have this puzzle box with most of the pieces, as a child I used it for a "hope chest" for my Barbies! Was nice to see you enjoying the treadle machines. Most of mine have been found on online auctions, most expensive was $50.00, least was $25.00, but have only seen one other puzzle box and it went for $60.00!
I'm completely in awe of your puzzle box.It's beautiful. Thanks for the video and especially for naming the attachments.
Thank you for this video! I was wondering about these and it was super informative!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
That's a nice clever puzzle box. I have few of the items. Then the chrome parts was so much well done, less prone to rust.
I have my grandmothers box. She was born 1878 died 1978. I learned to sew on her treadle machine. Most of the attachments were in here. My lining is red. And dated February 19,1889
Thanks for this video and accompanying article, I occasionally volunteer at a local museum researching objects and I came across a singer puzzle box( I can't remember for which model) and was instantly able to identify it, the name had rubbed off.
When I made this video, I'm fairly sure there wasn't a YT video about it, so I figured I should be the first to make one! :) Glad you liked it.
I just bought this box from a flea market for $20. It's so amazing.
Good luck finding all the pieces. They ain't always easy to get a hold of.
@@shahancheong9792 Yeah I definitely only see about half in here, and a couple pieces that aren't in your video.
I have one i just found in my moms stuff (she's passed on now 😞) i had no idea what it was so I've been looking to see what it is ❤. I had no idea it was that old!! I have her Singer still too. From your video, it's apparent im missing a few pieces, like the bar in the middle to hold some of bits in place. I have most of the pieces. Im excited to finally know what it is! Thank you for fhis video! By the way i love your accent, and your voice i could listen to you all day lol.
Thanks. Got more videos coming soon.
I have one of these; has a lot of the same accessories. Thanks!
I have one of those!
Hmmm…not complete, looks like you are missing a foot, the “underbraider foot” that fits in the #7 slot. They are very rare to find. The one you picked up @3:50 is called a narrow hemmer, it makes narrow hems like what you would see on a handkerchief, a little tricky to get used too, but with practice it works great! It fits in the #9 slot perfectly if you turn it the other way and slide it in. I have this exact set.
Just this month my neighbor threw out a beautiful antique singer and in the drawer was this box! I took the machine but scrapers already came and took the stand which makes me sad but I was wondering what all the pieces were thanks!
skeeter 793 and this is why the boxes are getting so expensive nowadays. Finding complete ones is almost impossible.
I wish i had these accessories
I’ve a 1916 Singer 16K115 - it was made for the manufacture of military uniforms - it was treadle powered and used by a local upholsterer until the late 1990’s. The aperture beneath the needle being drilled or designed to 4mm 😳 Sadly the original treadle and top was stolen, so it’s now a mission to find a working and fitting treadle and table top. I’ve found a treadle, but it needs a new right hand frame and a new pitman rod …
The flywheel is 16” diam - i’m thinking it might be an idea to reduce this significantly in order to slow the machine down? I wonder if these machines were ever hand cranked? It’s a shame, there must have been spares for this machine, sadly they’ve disappeared …
Maravilhoso esse acessório da singer 27😊
So which style # is your puzzle box
I wish, I have so many types of sewing machine parts. Although my machine is quite old from 1953 (it belonged to my mother). But I can not find its parts in pakistan any more. Do you know any online shop where I can purchase them? Thanks
Thank you for putting your video up which of course came up when I googled it. I have two Singer Puzzle Boxes, one complete and in great condition, and the other one has broken hinges on the opposite side to the opening with the catch on it. I have been searching online for some way of being able to repair the hinges. Do you know how this could be done? I did think of using piano hinging as a last resort but of course would prefer it be as original as possible. I have a box full of attachments so am pretty sure I would have the parts to complete another box.
I've never tried repairing an actual, broken box before. Finding a replacement box may be possible - or buying new hinges - but replacement boxes can possibly be quite expensive.
@@shahancheong9792 Thank you for your reply. I did wonder about using piano hinge. I may go check out a hardware store and see if there is anything available that would work. Cheers
That's a cool box.
Glad you liked the video!
@@shahancheong9792 absolutely! I just got a Spencer Rotary treadle for Christmas (early) 😆 And I went through 17 vids on all the different attacents and yours was in the list. I didn't get that box (not a singer) but I plan on making one for the Greist (sp?) attachments I got. And believe me, I can't wait to test them all, lol!
thanks for this
You're welcome! Glad you found it useful :)
My Minnesota has one
its missing 1 thing there is a small oil can that goes with that box
I AM LOOKING FOR AN EMPTY ONE FOR MY FEATHERWEIGHT ATTACHEMENTS
THEY ARE REALLY HARD TO FIND
BLESSINGS & BE HOPE FILLED

A box like this wouldn't work for a Featherweight. They have different components, especially bobbins, that wouldn't fit into a puzzle box. You're better chasing after a metal or paperboard Singer attachments box instead. There's plenty of those to be found.

Thank you so much for this video I have similar part but not using plz help me if possible thanks
Did you notice the little black thing dangling off the needle threader? That tiny little thing goes through the eye of the needle to hook the thread on so you can thread the needle. Quite a few of the needle threaders have that tiny black hook missing and you can spend a lot of time trying to figure out how your needle threader works without it. (I've seen some with two tiny black hooks dangling off them - not in real life, just on the www!).
As well as calling them Style boxes Singer also called them Attachment cases so it can be worth searching for that. This site help to figure out a bit more about one of the earlier ones for long bobbins and spoon hemmers: ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/singer_model_27_attachments.html
It also helps to know the original configuration for that particular case.
This is also a handy reference: needlebar.org/main/puzzles/index.html
How do I know which version I have?
Hi,
Typically the more complicated the contents, the more advanced the number. As more pieces were crammed in, they developed a new model or layout.
Look at the way the attachment s go on the bottom of presser foot
Newer pieces attached to the side of the presser foot bar.
wow
