  1. Thank You Everybody!
  2. That is a very nice original condition example of a "Jenny Lind" Style Trunk. 1850s-60s, so 160+ years old. Pre-civil war era to Civil War era. It is fantastic just as it is. Top Notch Find!
  3. Hi Alex! I have learned a few things about this phonograph here in recent years. I have also seen a few more of them for sale as well. Here's what I know. In North Carolina, it appears that this w...
  4. Oh, and admission is free. Also, have a look at this website: https://thecabe.com/forum/ There are many vintage bike folks that are hoping to sell on that website.
  5. Hello SpaGuy! Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'm not really interested in selling this bike. I actually ride this bike very regularly, and have put probably a few hundred miles on it in the time I've own...
  6. That is a neat story! And thank you for reading!
  7. Thank you!
  8. Thank you! I am excited about restoring them. I just think it would be so neat, to be able to fix up a vehicle that is so old, and have it like new, in a condition that you can just hop right up on ...
  9. Thank you very much for your compliment. I always tell my buddies, "you know, when want something, I always try to go for the deluxe". That's something I like about the older bikes that you can't re...
  10. Hello, yes the date I gave is definitely a broad estimate, and the most reliable way to date exactly, is the way you did, using the serial number. I would however, be inclined to say that your typewr...
  11. Hello, I previously posted a comment with information on you machine. Your typewriter is an earlier model sholes and glidden from the early to mid 1870s, as you can tell by the arm on the right hand ...
  12. Thank you!
  13. Thank you! It was quite a good snow that time, perfect for sledding too!
  14. Thank you!
  15. Oh, I didn't know that. The only reason I post these items on Collectors Weekly is because I am not a member of any other photograph sharing websites or organizations. The majority of my posts are o...
  16. Thank You!
  17. Thank You!
  18. That's quite a nice machine, and being a Royal its of good quality. I would recon it is about a 1920s to 1930s model. When it comes to typewriters, I always favor and recommend the old 1920s machine...
  19. Thank you!
  20. Yes. it would be neat and fun to transform to the scale of these buildings and walk inside. Thank you!
  21. Thank you!
  22. Thank you!
  23. Thank you!
  24. Oh, I have never heard that story before; thank you for sharing. It definitely seems like Remington had the right idea, considering that shift keys are still used today. Thank you!
  25. Thank you!
  26. Thank you!
  27. Ha, I have my fair share of old computers and electronics (aside from the vintage gaming ones in my collection) piled around my place too! Nowadays with all of the new gadgets all the time, its reall...
  28. Thank you! I have another lighthouse I finished shortly after this one, and I will be posting it soon. Thanks!
  29. Thank you!
  30. Thank you!
  31. Hi, I have since added 3 more photos. Thanks!
  32. Hi, I do a bit of work on the old sewing machines. Some things to mention, I would definitely discourage using alcohol to clean the machine, especially on the decals, as this may damage the finish, o...
  33. This is a very nice machine you have. Its exactly the same make and model which I use for all of my sewing, treadle and all. I used it recently to repair a seams on some breeches. I believe that th...
  34. When I first saw it, I also was quite aware of the many reproductions, and thought it was likely one of those, but after looking over it probably half an hour, and thoroughly researching it after, I a...
  35. Thank you!
  36. Thank you to everybody for your help and advice!
  37. Hi, I did do my own work on the typewriter. Depending on the condition, it can often be quite easy to get a typewriter going again, a nice rainy day project. When it comes to cleaning, I generally u...
  38. That is quite a nice typewriter you have. As I'm sure your aware, it is a Woodstock, I would guess from the mid 1920s, making it about 90 years old. In my opinion it looks to be in pretty nice shape...
  39. Thank you. With old things like this, I guess it comes back to the old saying, "they don't make them like they used to."
  40. Hi, thank you for the advice. I will have to look into this switch connected to the ringer. I am also unsure if the terminals at the top are even the spot to connect the wire to like I think it is. ...
  41. Hi, and thank you. I think that in order to see the photos on Google+, you will have to log out of your Google Account (Gmail, etc.), first, and then copy and paste the link. Hopefully that will do ...
