  1. Just working my way through old CW S&T posts that have Singer no-prefix serial numbers, because the ISMACS team has been working on a project to flesh out the information on them. With regard to th...

  5. D'oh! I linked this post over on the Victorian Sweatshop National badge name topic, and kndpakes noticed the perfectly legible "Practical Farmer" stencil on the cabinet cover, so I'd say that clinc...
  6. TallCakes, Also interesting about the wire hangers. That AU source carries the adhesive variety as well: https://shakespearesolutions.com.au/products-page/plate-hangers/invisible-plate-hanger-di...
  7. TallCakes, Very interesting about the pink clambroth sample.
  8. kwqd, You should, because it's gorgeous. <3 Get one of those unobtrusive wire hangers, e.g.: https://shakespearesolutions.com.au/products-page/plate-hangers/traditional-spring-plate-hangers/ ...
  9. I did some more noodling around the Net. There's a Facebook group dedicated to tubular lanterns, and mention is made of a "Ham patent" on a Norleigh Diamond lantern: *snip* Ham made, the doub...
  10. Lcalloway, Cool. :-) Insofar as I can tell, if the name on the item is "Shapleigh Hardware Co.," then the oldest it can be is 1918: http://www.thckk.org/history/shapleigh-history.pdf http://w...
  11. Hat tip to user alwen of the victoriansweatshop forum for these archive dot org copies of old T. Eaton Co. catalogs that show the Seamstress: The first is described as a 1884 publication; however, ...
  12. Again! :-) Just thought I'd give you a link to a soft copy for the National Regal Paveway instruction manual, mainly for the threading information, because it also has top leaf tension: https://...
  13. Oops, I forgot to give you a link for an archive copy of the needlebar dot org page for National badge names: https://web.archive.org/web/20220830042604/http://needlebar.org/main/makers/usa/nationa...
  14. Hi again, Glenbourgh. :-) I ran out of time earlier, but later I did some more noodling around the Net. What you might have is not a New Home, but rather a National Seamstress (scroll down): ...
  15. Hi, Glenbourgh. :-) Cool vintage sewing machine. It sounds like you've already done some research on this. When you wrote this: "Could it have been made by New Home and be just a model nam...
  16. Kjhoran, Thanks for weighing in on this. :-) I suspected it was a modern tourist reproduction, but was hoping the OP would come back with more details, e.g., whether the coin found on the surface o...
  17. Double ugh. >8-0 Clemens Mueller, not Clemons Mueller.
  18. ETA 20241202: Ugh. The name is Clemons Mueller. The 1894 registration of the name "VERITAS": https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/register/DD224/DE Per fiddlebase dot com, a serial ...
  19. ETA 20241202: (Translation from DeepL with a minor correction.) *snip* The poster depicts the CB sewing machine of the First Hungarian Sewing Machine and Wheel Manufacturing Company, which (a...
  20. More backfilling. Although this vibrating shuttle was posted in the Singer sewing machine category, it's clearly not a Singer. The plainly readable medallion badge on the pillar reveals maker Clemo...
  21. Ugh. More back-filling. >8-0 This antique transverse shuttle sewing machine head with the "ADRIA" medallion badge on the pillar wasn't made by Singer. Per reddit user crkvintage: *snip* Ad...
  22. Hi, Milena. :-) It's interesting, because the alphabet characters on it don't seem to conform with either Russian Cyrillic or the Western Roman alphabet. Possibly, they're Macedonian Cyrillic?: ...
  23. jmillersmugs: "Stuttgart (German: Swabian: Schduagert " No wonder not many people, even in Germany, speak Swabian. };-) Seriously, I've been enjoying your mug collection. I had one myself ...
  24. NickM, You're welcome. :-) I did some more noodling around the Net and found a couple of etsy vendors selling what look like original slide and throat/needle plate sets: https://www.etsy.com/lis...
  25. Hi again, Siri. :-) I looked at those alamy dot com listings again, and think that the age of the stamps might be 12 November 2016. The images on them are circa 1977.
  26. Hi again, NickM. :-) I was tired and in too much of a hurry yesterday. I found a parts list for the 99-13 (actually a price list, but please understand that the prices seen in it are merely hist...
  27. Hi, NickM. :-) Cool vintage sewing machine. I'm not sure what source you consulted to decode the serial number; however, your Singer isn't a model 15, it's a model 99, so that's why the slide pl...
  28. Hi, Siri. :-) It looks like you may have used an alphabet in this post that the software couldn't handle, hence all of the question marks. I'm going to write my comment in English. Hopefully,...
  29. jmillersmugs, Cool. :-) I decided to look into ads. Jellystone Park in Grand Haven isn't around anymore: https://www.campjellystone.com/resources/michigan-experience-european-culture/ Chin...
  30. billretirecoll, Marbles! <3 My father would have loved this, as he was an inveterate marbles player as a child. He said that his knuckles were perennially crusty and brown. There's a small statu...
  31. Abdul__Qadir8879: Google Lens finds suggest that this might be a Chinese funerary item: *snip* During the Han Dynasty, dogs of various types were frequently placed in tombs. This type of shor...
  32. dav2no1, Aw. <3 Judging from the span of years, this particular family dog might have been gone before you were old enough to remember. If so, you weren't as lucky as I was. My family acquire...
  33. fortapache: "It seems this could be a Bakelite handle." It could be, but here is a tidbit from the patent: "A preferred plastic material comprises polystyrene which can be pigmented and molde...
  34. fortapache, Ah, blue-green things. };-) The brand name is "PROGRESSUS," and I found some near twins. This one is the same color, and the vendor describes it as having a patent; however, they pro...
  35. jmillersmugs. Cool. :-) Now this pattern doesn't give me PTSD, just fond memories. <3 I had an aunt who was an early adopter of Corelle Livingware, and she had a set in this pattern.
  36. jmillersmugs, Something for everyone. The sight of that pattern gave me PTSD. };-)
  37. kwqd, Beautiful texture on that vase. <3 "HRH Amanda was trying to participate by getting between me and my laptop during the whole session. She gets an anti-director credit (AKA PITA) and no image...
  38. A tidbit from the comments on one of the savingcountrymusic dot com article: *snip* In 1948 [my note: this was before the move to the 417 Broadway location], there were only 78’s. They were in t...
  39. A more recent piece on the Tubb building: https://savingcountrymusic.com/ernest-tubb-record-shop-says-its-here-to-stay-amid-iconic-sign-removal/
  40. dav2no1, I wonder if the reason the format check boxes had disappeared from the order form by 1965 is that it had either become too cumbersome or superfluous. That is, in addition to 33 1/3, 45,...
  41. Hi, Jconsta12. :-) Yep, those courting frogs are pretty dang cute. <3 However, being concrete I suspect that they are pretty heavy and shipping could be prohibitive. Here's an outfit that sel...
  42. dav2no1, Way cool. <3 I suspect your order form is older than 1960s/1970s vintage, because of a couple of little details: in the upper left-hand corner are two check boxes for 78RPM and 45RPM. No ...
  43. D'oh! Disregard. I added the above comment to the wrong post. It belongs here: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/323426-i-would-like-to-know-more-about-these-2
  44. D'oh! I added the below comment to the wrong post earlier. Here is a Felix with the same dial as yours, and Bruce99 opined that it was of circa 1906 vintage: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/sto...
  45. Whoops, here is a Felix with the same dial as yours, and Bruce99 opined that it was of circa 1906 vintage: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/262784-old-clock?in=613
  46. Hi again, RobertJones84. :-) I took another look at the label(s) on the Waterbury clock, and realized that the one on top of the one with the "WATERBURY" text reads "FELIX." That produced a lot ...
  47. Hi, Muddlepup. :-) Yes, it's beautiful. Ansonia made many clocks, and unfortunately, our resident clock expert (Bruce99) has been ominously quiet for some time now. :-( Here are some clock ca...
  48. Hi, RobertJones84. :-) Beautiful gingerbread mantel clocks. I'm afraid that your pictures of the labels on the backs aren't focused very well. On the first, all I can read is what looks like...
  49. apostata, Thanks, but in looking back, I see that I failed to provide any examples of the Hirado bisque cat that show an authentic Hirado hallmark. Here's a listing for a pair of the Hirado bisque ...
  50. Hi, Peterdrury. :-) I found a hallmark very similar to the brown one at thepotteries dot org (scroll down to see image): *snip* Crown device with word Staffordshire surrounded by a laurel wr...
