  1. Hi, Quinndoggs8407. :-) Is it that you've identified the hallmarks as Stowell? FYI, I found listings for Towle spoons that looks very similar to yours: *snip* Towle Mary Chilton sterling s...
  2. Hi, woledge7444. :-) How great that you knew the fabulously talented Martin Turner. Collectors Weekly Show & Tell isn't a market for selling/buying; however, I don't think the CW S&T police will...
  3. spacemissing, Cool. :-) History ain't always pretty. };-) Here's a twin: *snip* 1957 Packard Bell Clear Plastic Tube Radio - Dealer Display. Clear radios are very rare and were used by ...
  4. Hi, Theschwartz1. :-) The pattern name is in the back stamp on your plate: "A La Reine Elizabeth." In April 1957, when Queen Elizabeth II visited France: *snip* After a gala dinner given i...
  5. Hi, peacockt. :-) Cool item. It sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole. So, the trademark is registered in Russia, Great Britain, France (and presumably in the USA), and the item has two patents, d...
  6. dav2no1, The strange thing is the way Google Lens worked. I first tripped on that sole twin image using Google Lens on my smart phone. When I tried to find it using Google Lens on my Windows devic...
  7. I took another look at this, and it isn't necessarily what I initially thought it was. More about Ingolstadt: https://www.publications.usace.army.mil/portals/76/publications/engineerpamphlets/ep...
  8. Google Lens found it (although I had to hold my mouth just right): *snip* 4092nd Labor Service Company (weiteres unbekannt) (Dank an Nicolas v. Möllendorf) *snip* https://www.usarmygermany...
  9. Ugh. I was in too much of a hurry when I commented on this yesterday. What I should have said is that the information at the first link (fineartamerica dot com) seems at best misleading. The ori...
  10. Hi, Fergy. :-) Google Lens found multiple copies, and there seems to be some confusion about the title, the creators and dates: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/-a-young-girl-leaves-the-count...
  11. Hi, nanniejo. :-) The best way to get some help in identifying/dating your vintage sewing machine is to create a post of your own with up to four pictures. Please provide a clear, unobstructed p...
  12. Steptoe1, I commented on your other swimming medal post: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/322027-1945-silver-medal
  13. Steptoe1, Cool. :-) I see that you have another near twin: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/322028-medal FYI, the engraving on the medal edge has two little dots above the "U" in the ...
  14. IronLace, You're very welcome. :-) I suspect you already knew everything I dug up; I'm mostly educating myself, and anybody else who trips on this post looking for fairy lamp information. I actu...
  15. IronLace, Twenty years! Very cool. :-) Ya know, every time I think I have trademark/patent databases whupped, The Powers That Be decide to change the way they work, and then I flounder around again...
  16. littleg, Beautiful. Google Lens suggests that it might be a Kilim of Balkan origin.
  17. Whoops, I guess I should have shown the last known address for the St. Louis Chair Company (formerly the Bianco Manufacturing Company): 314 N Broadway, St. Louis, MO 63102 https://maps.app.goo.g...
  18. moxyroxy17, Somebody else posted some Biano Manufacturing Co. chairs here: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/315069-bianco-mfg-co-bentwood-dining-chair It looks like the Bianco Manufactur...
  19. OK, I found a twin in this catawiki listing (top shelf in the photograph): https://www.catawiki.com/en/l/36267761-mayfair-collection-doll-1990-1999-netherlands That document is a bit hard to rea...
  20. As to the doll in this post: there is a near twin on eBay described as a MAYFAIR Collection Porcelain Doll: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/374329696943 The dress is slightly different, and there's no h...
  21. Double whoops, the above comment was intended for your other post: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/321941-porcelain-moments
  22. Whoops, I was able to see that doll in a slide show at the TikTok account: https://www.tiktok.com/@iiconbebe/photo/7368183272205045000 So the OP of that account might be your best bet. No guaran...
  23. Hi, MyPreciousPorcelain. :-) Is this the Pinterest pin?: https://it.pinterest.com/pin/dolls--19210735896433856/ Google Lens found a slight variation (the same doll, but the image looks like i...
  24. Artiz, Cool stove and range. :-) Is there some reason that your first picture in this post is of a vintage New Home treadle sewing machine cabinet? I see that this picture of a vintage sewing ma...
  25. fortapache, Uncle Frank would approve. };-)
  26. ttomtucker, Thanks for bringing this back to the front page. Story number 31601 is pretty old in Collectors Weekly Show & Tell terms. Google/Google Lens turned up some twins/near twins, including t...
  27. billretirecoll, That sounds plausible. There are three tools on this bead chain, and we only get a clear look at the business end of one of them. Well, perhaps the one pointed to the right looks...
  28. mp.kunst, Way above my head. >8-0 Per Angielczyk on your coincommunity dot com post: *snip* If you butt the sum of all rows and all columns you arrive at 650. Then square the large 4 and this...
  29. Hi, stepcoach. :-) I think you were on the right track using it as a bottle opener, although I can't imagine how you were able to use it to extract splinters. You've only given us one picture, a...
  30. kwqd, Hey, I was just following mp-kunst's lead so that I might see the original. Like you, I was trying to decipher that name on the painting in this post, to no avail. Chaim, honey, wherefore ...
  31. kwqd, Yup, I see what you see with the signature reading "CHAIM" somebody-or-other. What else is interesting to me is that this 1stdibs print of Rouault's Jeanne D'Arc is faced the other way: ht...
  32. vetraio50, With good reason. :-) They look like Iittala Aslak flat sherbets: https://www.replacements.com/crystal-iittala-aslak-flat-sherbet/p/108217881
  33. I've been in an MRI machine, and aside from the noise, it didn't really bother me, but then it was a fairly short 'tube,' and medical personnel were on hand to assist me. I once visited a cave that...
  34. D'oh! I neglected to put the key word "patent" in my previous comment. I couldn't edit it, but as the OP, I could delete it, so I did. I also edited the text description section to replace the 20th...
  35. dav2no1, Nope, not me. >8-0 I think I'm slightly claustrophobic, and that exceeds my limits. I'm also not too crazy about being in a tunnel that goes underneath water. I once took a ride on the ...
  36. Hey, Tangoes. :-) It's definitely VV-IX, because it's Roman numbers. Victrola the Ninth made its debut in 1911, and per the serial number table, 449080 rolled off of the line in 1920: *snip* ...
  37. Very interesting indeed: https://www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/21/laessing.php
  38. Hi, LA_Woman00. :-) Google Lens was a bit stubborn about it, but I finally found the eBay listing by using your fourth picture. The one at eBay isn't in as good of shape as yours, but the pictures ...
  39. dave2no1, You know you'd have found it yourself in time, but that new job is taking up quite chunk of your life these days, so I thought I'd throw you a hint. And there you go again, tryna donate s...
  40. Hey, Tangoes. I was waiting to see whether bruce99 would chime in with his expertise, but he's been worryingly quiet for quite some time now. :-( Somebody else posted one of these clocks twelve...
  41. dav2no1, Thanks for the hat tip. :-) When I first saw that beehive image, my mind went to the Mormons, but apparently the beehive has been widely used by masonic lodges as well. And the Sons of Her...
  42. Hi, isamc. :-) *snip* Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guides and the International Stamping Act restrict the use of the unqualified word “Platinum” (or “PT”, “PLAT.”) to describe platinum alloys ...
  43. Michelleb007, Thank you so much. I didn't really know MALKEY other than through CW S&T, nonetheless, I was saddened when I learned through TallCakes that he'd died. When MALKEY posted this beau...
  44. Ahastain, Thank you so much for adding pictures of your Manhattan-badged Davis model M! :-) I'll add them to the post I created for it on the VSS forum: https://www.victoriansweatshop.com/post/s...
  45. Welp, I must like doing needlessly duplicative work, because it turns out that ISMACS has a copy of what looks like essentially the same Minnesota C manual at Scribd. It not only has the Guaranty p...
  46. Ahastain, You're quite welcome. :-) As I explained in the email, I downloaded all of those individual WEBP files, converted them to JPG files, and then converted those into a single PDF file. Th...
  47. Ugh. I'm screwing up all over the place. In reading back, I see I linked teh ISMACS needle list twice, but forgot to link the Scribd Minnesota C manual. Here's a link to the Scribd manual: https...
  48. Oops, here's a needle cross reference chart: https://ismacs.net/needle_and_shank/needle-cross-reference-chart-flat-shank.html
  49. Hi, Ahastain. :-) It looks to me like what you have is a badged Davis underfeed, probably a Davis model M. The body casting of your sewing machine head is a bit rounder than other Davis model M...
  50. Hi, Csham. :-) That stove is interesting. Google Lens actually turned up a twin here at Collectors Weekly Show & Tell, and apparently, it's made by Waterman: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/sto...
