FAMOUS Buttonhole Worker, Sewing Machine Attachment

~ White Rotary Model C~

Made by Lenox Manufacturing Company , Catasauqua, Pennsylvania

Buttonholer looks to be in great condition and glides smoothly through its various settings. With its original box - wear and stains from use, as shown. Original Instructions included. I am offering the button whole make as found, I believe there are extra parts in the box, but obviouslly the previous owner felt they were important to the function of the machine.

A delightful piece of Americana for collection or sewing machine.

The Famous buttonholer was available in different styles to fit many different makes and models of sewing machines. It was made by Lenox Manufacturing Company of Catasauqua, PA.

In the 1924 US edition of Singer's Sewing Machine A Treatise on the Care and Use of Family Sewing Machines and their Attachments the Famous is shown (while in Europe Singer was still advocating making bound button holes and making buttonhole loops with a binder). The Famous was in direct competition with a version by Griest.

There were several different types, for Family and Manufacturing machines. Some use two screws and some use a wing nut to attach:

Model A - For White, New Home, Singer, Eldredge and Free
Model C - For Singer Family or Singer Tailor 31-15
Model D - For Singer 31-20 heavy duty machine

Measurements:
Length: 6 1/2 ( Buttonhole maker)
Height 2 ( Buttonhole Maker)

Box:
Length: 6 3/4
Width: 3 1/4
Height: 2 3/4

Weight: 1LBS 7 OZ.

This would make a great addition to any Vintage Collection, what a great piece of Americana.
