One thing you need to remember is that patents are taken out for many
things which are never manufactured. Having an interesting design and
wanting to protect it while you look for funds, etc. is one thing.
Getting the funds and setting up manufacturing is another.

I have been going through the patent website trying to find out about sewing
machine attachments. I have a beautifully restored 1887 Standard treadle sewing
machine in the original cabinet. It came with a box full of sewing machine
attachments. I don't know what the attachments are for or how to use them.
Jackpot! I found one type of my attachments on the patent site:

So...what is it for? Where the flat section at the top of Fig. 1, my box is a
lot longer. How does it attach to the machine?
I have some similar attachments with a flatter area where the curl is located
on the patent. These clearly attach to the feeder bar. This type is stamped
with the Standard logo and numbered B, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, smallest to largest. My
mother said these are hemmers. She was not sure if the one like in the patent
was for hemming.
