    Description

    Here's a chance to add 3 tools, probably Singer, in very nice used condition to your vintage accessories.
    These items are not only collectible, but extremely useful as well.  The small screwdriver is called the "tension" screwdriver, for use in turning the tiny screw on the bobbin case which
    adjusts the tension
    .  Of course, it can be used on more than just that screw.  The large tool works on larger screws, and the looped design of the handle gives you good leverage.  Be sure to use this to remove your needle plate occasionally to clean the dirt and lint from underneath!  The third tool in this set is called a stiletto, and is used to push or pull the fabric through the needle area.
    None of these tools has a Singer or Simanco stamp, nor a part number.  My favorite expert tells me that these ARE all Singer, from the late 1800s to 1920s, part numbers 25537, 25538 and 25539.  My research shows that the large one was the version included in the puzzle boxes that came with the early
    treadle
    machines.  The pin in the handle was common at that time, and such parts weren't always marked with a brand.  The loop wire design on the two smaller tools is also found in early attachment sets, especially in the "puzzle boxes."
    I've taken pictures of both sides, from 3 different angles on each side, so that you can see exactly what you're getting.
    I consider 2 of these nice tools to be in very good
    used
    condition, with the large screwdriver only in good condition.  The small screwdriver and stiletto have a couple of blemishes, but the large screwdriver has many, though all 3 are fully functional, ready to give many more years of use.  Please examine all the photos carefully, and form your own opinion.
    This can be your chance to own these classics to complete your collection of accessories for your beloved Singer!
    NOTE:  If you buy more than one of my lots, I'm happy to combine shipping.  When making multiple purchases from me, please use your cart and "request total" when you're finished shopping.  Once everything's packed, I'll send an invoice with the final total, including the combined shipping cost and any taxes required by your location.  THANKS!
    THANKS FOR LOOKING!
    Payment and Shipping
    NOTE:  ALL CARRIERS HAVE RAISED RATES ON PACKAGES AGAIN, AND I'M PASSING THE INCREASED COST ON TO MY BUYERS.  ALSO PLEASE BE AWARE THAT USPS IS NOW CHARGING MORE FOR LONGER DISTANCES ON FIRST CLASS AND FLAT RATE PRIORITY.
    Payment is required within 2 days of the auction ending.  Please be courteous and tread Buy-It-Now as Pay-It-Now.
    NOTE: Tennessee
    residents are required to pay 9.50% sales tax - I pay these once a month.  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
    Hawaii and Alaska
    if the shipping method shows First Class or Priority Flat Rate mail - if in doubt, please ask before bidding.  Sorry, no international shipping.
    Shipping costs are based on USPS rates, plus the cost of packaging materials - I make no profit on shipping. I also don't ship anything in paper envelopes with stamps attached since all my items are worth more careful packing than that.  Therefore, my minimum charge reflects the minimum postage cost for a package.  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. The item must be returned in the same condition in which it was mailed, including protective packaging. Once received, a refund will be issued.
