  1. Cyndy Kitt suggested that the "NM" on the pillar badge/medallion might stand for "Nippon Machine" which, given the JA-12 Brother stamp on the bed, would be a correct characterization. I think I've ...
  2. I went back into the Australian trademark database, performed a search for the term "Universal" and Class 7 (which includes sewing machines), and got 130 returns. I only saw two with any promise. ...
  3. I was able to upload a cropped, brightened, and contrast-enhanced copy of the pillar medallion to the Australian trademark database and conduct a search for it, but no joy.
  4. Hi again, Lediva. :-) I contacted Cyndy Kitt about your Universal-badged sewing machine head, and she said: "It would have been exported as a naked cleanskin and then finished and furnished with...
  5. Well, the British trademarks database is back up, but no joy. You can search by images; however, not by uploading one. I think I was on the right track, because I did find trademarks for Willcox...
  6. Oops: "Some Australian maker" Should read: "Some Australian retailer" Anyway, one thing I've neglected to mention thus far is that medallion on the pillar. Google Lens hasn't turned up ...
  7. Cyndy Kitt had some interesting things to say about Japanese HA-1 sewing machine heads: https://cyndykitt.com.au/machines/info-J-HA1.htm So the information I gave you earlier about Universal bei...
  8. Hi again, Lediva. :-) I just thought I'd look up that address on the motor, because sometimes old addresses yield some interesting tidbits. Unfortunately, the area surrounding 329 Adelaide St., ...
  9. Hi, Lediva. :-) Yup, I'd say that you're on the right track with your estimate of 1950s-vintage. This sewing machine head appears to be a classic Singer model 15 clone, and the "JA-12" on the un...
  10. Steptoe1, It's difficult to say whether Countess Thun personally designed this piece. Thun is a studio that was founded in 1950: https://www.thun.com/gb_en/thun-world/about-us/ However, the s...
  11. fortapache, Google Lens is starting to harsh the guessing game. It turned up quite a few of different brands. Not that I had any clue what a laundry dolly was before I did a search: *snip* OL...
  12. Hi, horserescuer. :-) Google Lens turned up a near twin: *snip* Vintage Turkish Dallah Silvered Brass/Copper Coffee Pot, 12”, Pakistan 1960's *snip* https://www.ebay.com/itm/22572519446...
  13. Hey again, gargoylecollector. :-) If you want to convert that Winterhilfswerkes PDF, and make an English version, you can do it with this free tool: https://www.onlinedoctranslator.com/en/transl...
  14. Super cute. :-) Apparently Thun made a pickup truck, car, and motorcycle with sidecar in the same theme: https://www.subito.it/arredamento-casalinghi/thun-automobile-camioncino-e-moto-sidercar-u...
  15. Hey, gargoylecollector. :-) Google Lens turned up more than one twin of that first, but as it sometimes happens, I get different results between my Android and Windows devices. Sometimes that's hel...
  16. mp.kunst, leesa3242, I quite agree that this could be a sample of of a mass-produced painting, and the signature, whether it's HL BERT, or Albert or something else might not be the actual name of whoe...
  17. Hi, Dbinkley. :-) I realize that you probably didn't deliberately add an upside down close-up of the artist signature to your post (weird image orientation is a known software bug at Collectors Wee...
  18. fortapache, Yup. Quilters especially love them, because a lot of them travel with their sewing machines. Yeah, it's a thing. If you're gonna travel with your sewing machine, it's a lot more plea...
  19. *snip* About Crochendy Bethesda Pottery Hand-thrown, stoneware, studio pottery & fine arts gallery. *snip* https://www.facebook.com/bethesdapottery/about_details
  20. dav2no1, "I just returned to the work after severs years of retirement. Back to the big B airplane maker." Workin' for the man again, huh? I hope that's a good thing.
  21. Hi, dali19. :-) It's an interesting ring, because it looks almost like there are no set-in stones, but rather the whole ring being fashioned out of some kind of metal. I see hints of what look like...
  22. Happy Birthday, baby girl Sansa and Daddy dav2n01. <3
  23. Newfld, I think it's beautiful, too. <3 Oddly enough, though, the one thing that might break my obsession with this furniture set would be to find out that the design on the upholstery was painted ...
  24. steptoe1, Google Lens turned up some near twins: https://www.catawiki.com/en/l/38718823-val-saint-lambert-on-a-half-moon-plate-6-crystal I say "near twins," because I don't think I see the Val S...
  25. A'ight, here is a description of the leather suspension system in the Concord coach: *snip* These masterpieces of construction had no equal. Concord stage were first to offer shock-absorbing tho...
  26. Ugh. Bad editing caused my snips to end up in the wrong places, but you get my drift. };-)
  27. dav2no1, It was probably relatively expensive, because it was strenuous work for the horses, and any given horse couldn't do it all day long, so you had to have a lot of 'spares.' Before I used the...
  28. fortapache, You're welcome. :-) It really wasn't that much research once I got past the initial stumbling block of all the cann*bis search result hits. That kind of took me by surprise, because I'v...
  29. spacemissing, Very cool. It wasn't until I opened the post and saw the picture of the other side of the token that I realized it was a horse-drawn trolley (I probably should have guessed that based...
  30. spacemissing, Cool. :-) Not sure why I couldn't find a patent listing for what looks to me like "92800." However, I found a near twin with another patent number on it: *snip* Keymatic Soli...
  31. Whoops, not "turpeneless, " but "terpeneless."
  32. fortapache, Whew. So glad it's "turpeneless." };-) Um whut? I hadda look it up: *snip* Terpenes are major biosynthetic building blocks. Comprising more than 30,000 compounds, these unsaturate...
  33. fortapache, Yup, a deacon's bench. So even tall people have some trouble with tall beds, huh? I recall staying at a hotel in Oregon that had antique beds, and it was all I could do to hoist my f...
  34. officialfuel, The stained glass woody is nice, but I have to tell you what my eyes immediately glommed on was that crocheted runner in front of it. <3 This is not an example of filet crochet that's...
  35. Although, the one dav2no1 linked says that it's functional on modern phone lines. Hmmm.
  36. Lata, I think you're onto something. I see that slot underneath the phone handle, too. I also see it on the one dav2no1 linked. Moreover, on the one in this post, there's that yellow 'plug' labeled...
  37. That number on the bottom ("1017437") is a British design patent from 1984 (I'm exerpting the some of the output from the UK design patent lookup interface here, because I'm not sure that the link is ...
  38. https://www.replacements.com/china-wedgwood-devon-sprays/c/113529
  39. billretirecoll, You are more than welcome. I'm glad the extra information allowed you to take a trip down memory lane. :-) FWIW, I thought I was gonna be schmart, and look up the serial number (...
  40. billretirecoll, Win, win, indeed. :-) You did a very good thing. <3 That Generations In Jazz outfit has a contact interface, but you have to install Real Simple Captcha on your computer to use i...
  41. man_of_the_woodlands, A few more tidbits. A search of the USPTO trademark database yielded a company name for that 1980s-ish Berkshire stove trademark: *snip* Owner Name: Enerex Corporation ...
  42. D'oh! As dav2no1 already pointed out, we can't edit our comments, otherwise I'd edit my previous one to remove the link he's already provide. Here are a few more links to information about UL listi...
  43. man_of_the_woodlands, I think dav2no1 made some valuable observations. It's a beautiful stove, but you could have some code compliance problems, and you'd do well to look into them. Here is more...
  44. man_of_the_woodlands, I think I owe you an apology. :-( In reading back, I realize that I used a couple of terms that you might not be familiar with, and that's understandable, because they're typi...
  45. Hi again, man_of_the_woodlands. :-) I did some more looking into this, and "unlisted" seems to be short-hand for "not listed by UL (Underwriters Laboratories): https://www.hearth.com/talk/thread...
  46. FWIW, "Berkshire" seems to be a name trademarked in the stove industry not all that far back: https://trademarks.justia.com/732/53/berkshire-73253022.html
  47. Tangoes, Interesting. The general style seems like Louis XVI (the shape of the couch legs).
  48. Hi, man_of_the_woodlands. :-) I see that you found a twin of your wood stove here at CW S&T: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/112952-old-berkshire-woodstove Google Lens finds other tw...
  49. Steptoe1, I'm not sure whether I'm following your logic. What I get from your comment is that you are indeed familiar with discogs dot com, but you don't research your own audio recordings using...
  50. jscott0363, These are adorable. I look at them, and can hear the odd little grunting noise that pugs make. <3
