    Here's another cute item in my parents' belongings. This is a toy sewing machine... 1920s or 1930s, perhaps? It's about 8 inches wide. From the looks of it, it actually worked (after a fashion).

      Look real carefully for any names or information on this. Can be quite valuable.

      Thanks, I will. I MAY have seen the Singer name on it. It's 10 miles away or I'd look right now.

      Here is a site you can check once you have a chance to examine it...

      Thanks... saved it. Your collection is amazing!! I've only scratched the surface of it. You actually HAVE all that stuff?

      Actually I have sold the Cameron pottery. With the exception of pottery much of what I have listed is just going through my parents stuff! Hey, get your camera out and share your treasures with the rest of us. :) Welcome aboard, kid...(or as they say in one of my favorite movies, "Welcome to my world, Yost".

      No name on the sewing machine at all. "Made in Germany" is stamped on the base.

      "Made in Germany" is stamped in ink or paint on the base. The number on the horizontal surface is "No. 8 1903".
