Featured Article on Lamb knitting machine

evening all, I picked up an antique tufting machine in original box.. inside the box were the machine patterns, ins. and this lamb knitting machine article.. I googled the article and found something similar and they are asking $125.00 for the article. I think my article is older bc it doesn't have patent information on it.. here is the link for the patent article.

should I put this article in the box and sell it with the machine or list it separately?
TIA

 

I have highlighted the key word. I would put all documentation in with it, as I think this would improve its chances of selling to a collector or someone who actually wants to use it.

Now, if only you had the 'inclosed' sample stocking.

 

I'm sorry may I ask what the key word is? I feel so stupid

 

Two totally different machines the OP's is a rug accessory...Antique 1892 "The STAR MFG. Co. Limited Washington PA. PAT. FEB.2.92" Star Rug Tufting Embroidery Machine Tool https://www.etsy.com/listing/602069405/antique-1892-star-rug-tufting-embroidery and the ad is for an actual knitting machine. I don't think you can make a "stocking" with the OP's machine.

 

'Asking'

 

The brochure is from Hulbert & Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio while the other one online is from Toronto.

I found that Hulbert was selling Lamb knitting machines in 1868, according to this post that lists Cincinnati vendors and dealers of a lot of things, taken from a Cincinnati newspaper feature.

T. W. Hulbert was one of the patentees of an improvement to the Lamb knitting machines in 1871. The patent application implies that "Lamb knitting machine" is a generic reference to a certain type of item.

A city directory from 1874 says that Thomas W. Hulbert was "atty. and agt., Lamb Knitting Machine Co., 538 w. 8th."

Just some information that I pieced together.

Based on what @Hollyblue posted, I would say that the brochure is not a match with the actual item posted here. So I would say to sell them separately.

 

Not stupid, @Tricia Harr

A seller can ask for any amount they like, but sold prices are used to estimate current market value. You can often find a similar item on eBay, just filter for "Sold."

"Completed" results will also come up, useful to gauge demand.

Hope that helps

 

Maybe you already knew that - just trying to clarify the "asking" riddle
