    I have this old sewing machine. It’s so heavy. I don’t know much about it, but I love it.
    I can’t find anything like it, and I searched and searched! I wish I knew what year it was made, but as I said, I can’t find anything like it.

      I can't help with questions about the machines but I do know that, in picture #1, the object with the aqua-colored handle is not part of the machine attachments. It is a tracing wheel that is for use in marking darts or pleats on the cloth being cut out when you are using a pattern. A piece of tracing paper is laid between the cloth and the pattern; when you need to mark a special area, such as a dart, you roll the tracing wheel on the pattern lines and it transfers dots onto the cloth to show you exactly where to sew.
      You can buy a tracing wheel anywhere that sells sewing notions. Cost a dollar or less.
