It'll either be for a Singer 27-28 class, or a Singer 15-class. They were the only machines for which these boxes were made.
Oh I know what I'm looking for. But it may take a while to find it all!!
Don't 'wow' too much! It's gonna be a lot of hunting and scraping and searching and finding!!
Some of you may remember that I like collecting sewing stuff. Well, I got another piece today. An antique Singer 'puzzle box' for $30. Here it...
Cute piece. Definitely a shoe-scraper. And yes, most likely missing the hard brush on the other side. I wonder if that's easily replaced? Get a...
I've heard that assertion as well, Pat - that 'silver' coming from China doesn't have any silver in it.
24kt plate, perhaps. I've never heard of 24kt gold for watches and jewelry.
I agree. I have a 22kt gold ring which is from somewhere in Asia, but that's all I know. And a gold bar which was a present from my dad. But...

Nitpick because I am a nitpicker... 1. The 'cone' things are called candle-snuffers. I've seen them made of everything from pewter to brass to...
Snuff looks like it would spill out of that far too easily. I don't think it's Asian, though. My guess is it's a patch box. I can't imagine what...
According to eBay, you may sell items which have *SOME* ivory in it, but it can't be made of ivory.
Don't get involved in ivory laws. I've read dozens of sources and I've seen dozens of answers. I think as a *GENERAL RULE*...and I serve this...
In Europe, UK, and Oceania (or at least Australia, where I live) the sale and ownership of antique ivory is legal.
I would suggest using cotton balls to clean the carving.
LOL. Yes that's Japanese, from the 1920s or 30s (I think mine is from the 30s). It weighs a ton! And it works, too! I've got the key to wind up...
