Description: This unusual accessory was listed in Singer manuals as a fashion aid, and is hard to find! The items featured in this auction are the hard-to-find gauge presser foot part # 121717 for all low shank Singer sewing machines, with 4 of the 5 "gauges." According to Singer, "smart, even stitching accents are effectively placed with the SINGER Gauge Presser Foot." It certainly sounds like this attachment will achieve some very nice decorative work, though it probably takes some practice. The low shank attachment is stamped "SIMANCO" and "U.S.A." and with its part # 121717 on the back side. It fits all Singer low shank vintage sewing machines, such as the Models 15-, 201-, 99, most 66s, the "automatic swing needle" 306 and 319, and many others, as well as the beloved Featherweights, Models 221 and 222. This main piece is in good used condition, with very minor marks of age and use. This set has 4 of the 5 "gauges" originally sold with the foot, including 3 pieces with measurement marks, plus what Singer called "toe piece A." This tiny piece is often missing from these outfits, probably because it's so small. All of these parts are stamped with their individual part numbers and "SIMANCO" and "U.S.A.", like the main foot. There are a couple of tiny marks on a couple of these, but I consider these parts to be in very good used condition, ready to give many more years of use. Please examine all the pictures carefully to form your own opinion. In addition to the foot and gauges, this auction includes a COPY of the partial page from Singer's textbook for Home Economics teachers, Machine Sewing, which deals with this attachment. Also included is a COPY of the back of the cardboard that this foot was sometimes sold on. Some of the same information occurs on both pages, but there are also some different details on each. These parts could be a nice addition to your accessories for your vintage Singer!

Payment and Shipping NOTE: ALL CARRIERS HAVE RAISED RATES ON PACKAGES AGAIN, AND I'M PASSING THIS INCREASED COST ON TO MY BUYERS. BE AWARE THAT THIS TIME USPS IS NOW CHARGING MORE FOR LONGER DISTANCES, EVEN ON PRIORITY FLAT RATE AND FIRST CLASS! Payment is required within 2 days of the auction ending. Please be courteous and treat Buy-It-Now as Pay-It-Now. NOTE: Tennessee residents must add 9.50% sales tax. Also note that many states now require eBay to collect and remit taxes directly. Shipping is to the continental USA, usually within 1 mailing day of receiving confirmation of payment. I will also ship to Alaska and Hawaii if the shipping method shows First Class or Priority Flat Rate mail - if in doubt, please email me before bidding. Shipping costs are based on USPS rates, plus the cost of packaging materials - I don't make money on shipping. My items all deserve careful packing, and therefore I'm charged the minimum USPS cost for a "package" even on small, light items. I will offer alternatives which can save money, such as parcel select or media rates, where appropriate, buyer's choice. My goal is happy customers! Returns Returns will be allowed within 30 days of receipt of the item - contact me immediately with any concerns, please.
