I found this today...and it looked so cool that I had to buy it! Now my question is...what is it? I don't sew really...but I did a little research- is it for buttons?
The front of the instruction book says Singer 15-91 if that helps??
I thought I'd sell it on etsy/ebay to someone that would like it more than I would, but wanted to see what it was first so I can label it! I am growing attached though...so maybe I'll just decorate with it!

It definitely looks like a buttonholer. (I wasn't sure that was even a word, but it's on my instruction book so I guess it is!) I'm not sure what your instructions go to though, the instructions with mine say buttonholer on the front and have a picture of the buttonholer. If you hadn't guessed...it's used to make buttonholes haha. I've never used mine though because it looks big an scary. Hope that helps!
Oh, and based on the picture from the inside of the booklet, it may just be for an older model. My sewing machine is from the 50s and looks different than the picture. Sorry for the information overload!
It appears to be a "Buttonholer" http://www.april1930s.com/html/singer_buttonholer.html
Cool find!
Hey thanks!! I appreciate it...I didn't even know where to start!
It absolutely is a buttonholer. My mother had that exact sewing machine and I remember how exciting it was to have an attachment that made buttonholes. You could choose which little gear thingy to put in the buttonholer to make the right sized buttonhole.
definately a buttonholer. Do you want to sell it?
Yes, I am actually! karenqd- I have no way to contact you, but feel free to email me if you're interested!
