Whatcha got there is a vibrating shuttle machine, 1930s-1950s (due to the HIGH amount of iron they used, sewing machines were rare during the...
Was it a Willcox & Gibbs? The C-shape sounds like it. They look like this: [IMG] Once I get this machine all complete (probably take two or...
It's not easy to do. There's all sorts of things you gotta sort out and think over. For one horrible moment, I thought that the machine was...
Hahaha!!! Thanks Mess. Whyso?
The rabbit in Chinese mythology is supposed to be creative and artistic, among other things. I'm a rabbit. I'm highly artistic, so it must be true.
Picked this up today for $30: [IMG] As you can tell, it's in pretty horrendous condition. [IMG] This is the "Indian Star" which gives the...
'Colonial' may mean the era of the British Empire, so if it's Victorian, that may still class as 'colonial'. Unless you're talking about Colonial...
If you wanted to use it as a desk (and such things have happened) then all you'd need to do is cut a new desktop and base and maybe some swing-out...

Ah...Possibly. Although I think Baker's idea that he was the retailer might also be plausible. Don't you DARE say that!! I've been there far too...
Sorry folks. I'm gradually getting over my guilt. Although I won't be buying another piece of silver (or at least, not one THIS expensive) for a...
Bought this as an impulse buy today. Mid-Victorian christening mug. I'm having buyers' remorse, a bit. I feel I should've spent my money a bit...
I can't imagine what. And candies were often decanted into jars or pots for decorative purposes.
I wish I DID have somewhere to display them properly, Bakers :p But I'm not that lucky. I DO have a display-case, one of those flat, lie-down...
Nothin' too special. This is my silver collection as of August 2015: [IMG] I'm expecting another piece in the mail soon. Once it arrives I...
I'm inclined to agree with Pat. It looks like something to hold candy in. Like maybe peppermints or something. A suitable gift for a little girl...
