Antique Singer Sewing Machine Attachment Case and Accessories

This item is an antique sewing machine accessory kit, notably featuring a multi-tiered wooden cabinet with a distinctive concertina or accordion-style folding mechanism. The case is constructed from solid wood, likely mahogany or walnut, and contains four shallow trays lined with a deep burgundy or plum-colored velvet or plush fabric designed to house various metal attachments. The attachments are made of polished steel and appear to be genuine early-20th-century Singer brand components. Notable pieces include a tuck marker, various rufflers, binders, a wire threader, and an adjustable hemmer. The craftsmanship reflects the industrial quality of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, approximately 1890-1920. Visible condition includes moderate wear to the wood's finish, some fraying and dust accumulation on the interior fabric lining, and a natural aged patina on the steel tools. A metal bar with numbered clips is visible in the second tray for organizing specific presser feet or attachments. This type of 'puzzle box' or tiered case was often sold as a premium upgrade for high-end treadle sewing machines.
