That's what I was hoping to hear. :happy:
No, nor this (have shown before on another thread): [ATTACH] Or this (sold as Celluloid by an English auction house): [ATTACH] There are just...
Hmmm. I meant the little sliding hook. But if the whole thing can be flattened for storage that way, what does the little one do? However it...
You have to know where to put the pins. Getting a hem to be even is actually pretty tricky.
All my first thoughts too.
OK, so piece is modern enough to be marked. (Using 'modern' to mean just post-Renaissance.) It is no cheap copy of something. Not clear to me...
Also wondering if there is any chance the drum shaped piece is magnetic? KoT came in with 'keeper' while I was typing. Still find it weird that...
Basia, in case you're confused, before you spend time trying to find Eboo, he means eBay & no, not a typo.

The seller of your book does not sound like a real book expert. Guess you have to weigh how you think it would be of most value to you: in its...
Wonder, then, if we have been on the wrong track, whether the main compartment would have ice & the whole piece be related to the world of food &...
Trying to remember - a long time since I saw one in use. It let you determine just where you wanted the hem to be & you would fold the excess...
Does marble need a reason? But seriously, think marble, top & bottom, was because both surfaces were likely to have to stand up to moisture in a...
Wonder if MHD did art for valentines.
Looks sort of like a hem marker. Would help to see some other shots showing how the parts can be moved. Gizmo for measuring hem length has to...
Is there a reason goods can't wait for transfer until check clears? Dealer probably couldn't stay in business with a history of stiffing people...
Not at all. It's a francophone country that still does many things in the French manner. I actually thought it said 43.
Separate names with a comma.
