This is my oak 1889 patented Singer Puzzlebox, with it's neatly organized low shank sewing machine presser feet, screwdrivers, awl, seam guide, quilting foot and guide, long bobbins, for both the Singer 127 Vibrating Shuttle (long bobbins) full size machine, as well as the 128 VS (3/4 size machine, meant to be portable, but being cast iron, not portable for many of us!)

These magical treasure boxes open from a gorgeous tongue and groove finished, rectangular oak box, to unroll, and lie completely flat, showing every tool, in it's own perfect place.

15 STYLES of Singer Puzzleboxes
Singer made at least 15 styles pf puzzlebox accessory sets, with the specific types of shuttles or bobbins, as well as the corresponding underbraider and shirring plates, for these early Singer sewing machines. I don't think I have photos of all of them, but am sharing copies of the books, manuals, & flyers which do have this original information from Singer. I've noticed that the pamphlets & flyers vary, apparently there is a box number, as well as a style number, and some are for more than one type of sewing machine model.

Style No. 11 for Singer class 15 sewing machines, often sold as being for Featherweight 221, & 222k, but the bobbins for those are larger than the class 15 bobbins originally in this case. |
