  1. "IronLace, 5 hours ago It’s probably not even actual humans doing this, just AI bots or something." Yup. FWIW, I put in a request to the apparent author of this one to stop spamming CW S&T: ...
  2. IronLace, Fighting the good fight, huh? };-) Newfld on a lot of these little pishers: "Newfld, 7 hours ago Unwanted spam on this website. Your company has been reported to SAMR China icam@sa...
  3. bexThith, This is a collectors forum, not a sales site
  4. Ugh. That 'ricardo" link is already defunct. Here's one that hopefully will last (description translated): "spherical light Article number: 804 Ø 150 x 230 mm Nature dictates the most balan...
  5. One more link: "The Glasi, as it is affectionately known, has a history of fascinating craftsmanship spanning over two centuries. Glasi experienced a formative turning point in 1975 when Roberto Ni...
  6. chuckg, Cool. :-) Here's another: "Robert Niederer Kugellicht, Boutique Fahrni, neuwertig!" English Translation: "Robert Niederer ball light, Boutique Fahrni, mint condition!" https://w...
  7. jbingham95: "The mystery has been solved on this old button that’s from 1902.I found on my property in Lakeland Fl.Thank you everyone for looking.." Way cool. :-) So the Civil and Spanish Ame...
  8. jbingham95, Cool. :-) It's very interesting, considering the history of the area (Lakeland apparently wasn't founded until 1885). "After Florida seceded from the Union and entered the Civil War...
  9. dav2no1: "Thank you all for the comments. And FYI.. I've reached out to CW and told them they need to make some of us moderators so we can fight all this recent spam attacks." Thank you for tryi...
  10. Hi, Junegt. :-) Overseas is a relative term. If you live in the USA, then yes, a Singer sewing machine with the serial number Y1603350 would have been made overseas, specifically at Singer's Kil...
  11. dave2no1. Cool. :-) "Something I noticed right away, was how heavy the F1 headset is. The F1 handset unit contains solid metal magnets, heavy coils, and carbon-granule transmitters rather than ligh...
  12. dav2no1, Cool. :-) I originally wondered whether the reason the booklet was in French was the proximity of Seattle to Canada, but then I stopped and said to myself, "Fool, USA vendors routinely pro...
  13. David1963, I found a copy of the operator manual for the White VS III at ISMACS (International Sewing Machine Collectors Society), so you won't have to email me for a copy: https://ismacs.net/wh...
  14. Sorry about the double comment. You can delete the second one.
  15. Whoops, a link to a 20 x 1 needle topic at VSS: https://www.victoriansweatshop.com/post/20-x-1-needles-8065031
  16. Whoops, a link to a 20 x 1 needle topic at VSS: https://www.victoriansweatshop.com/post/20-x-1-needles-8065031
  17. I found a Worthpoint listing described as a shuttle and bobbin for a White VS III (this is just so you know what they look like): https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/white-vs-iii-shuttle-bobbins...
  18. David1963, On the VSS site, member Tipsy Treadler reports: "I don’t have access to my VS III tonight, but I can check to see if its bobbins/shuttles have any counterparts in my Boye cases. The Boye...
  19. David1963, I found some specific White VS III manuals at VSS, but you have to be a member to download them. If you don't feel ready to join, I can email you copies (my email address is in my CW S&T...
  20. David1963, A vintage White sewing machine. Cool. :) I could be wrong, but it looks to me like what you have is a White VS III: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Sewing_Machine The "VS" st...
  21. tshusker. Cool. :-) At a glance, they looked new. More about Plomb: http://alloy-artifacts.org/plomb-tool.html The website has page of beaucoup patents: http://alloy-artifacts.org/selec...
  22. dave2no1, "I did also see someone stole my photo and used it for a gofundme. Pretty pathetic." I saw that. It's not just that it's rude considering that they're using it for "profit" (it IS rude...
  23. Hey, Steptoe1. :-) I pumped it into Google Lens, which thinks it's polished onyx. What is it for? It's something to look at. };-) I'm a bit suspicious about that line in the middle of the gra...
  24. Cool. :-) What I've been noticing at a local place that houses equines is freeze-brands. I didn't realize it initially, but that's what they must be, because the hair grew back: *snip* In con...
  25. OK, now that I'm less fatigued and achy (yep, I'm a feeb) , it looks to me like US162007A is the patent that is applicable to the plug tobacco cutter, and US162008A is applicable to the coffee grinder.
  26. A'ight. *snip* This business of the missing plug tobacco cutter patent make me feel like Mark Twain's companion from his prospector days, Judge Oliver: *snip* "Oliver was sitting alone in ...
  27. dave2no1, So you got some Uncle John advertisements that help establish the age of the Venable business. Excellent. :-)
  28. Hey, Lundy. :-) Good painting. I like the reflection on the water. I think I found the previous owner via Google Lens, but I won't link it here, because: 1) it's F-Book 2) it doesn't really shed...
  29. dav2no1, You're welcome. My patent mojo ain't been workin' too good lately :-( I have yet to find that middle patent (April 13 1875), but the other two (July 25 1871 and January 20 1885) yielded...
  30. Steptoe1, Interesting. Google Lens says it's possibly made by an outfit called Kraftware. Here's another on eBay; the listing is good, because the pictures include ones in which the ceramic inse...
  31. Steptoe1, Cool. :-) Love me some Spode. Per Replacements, it's not antique (1958 - 1990): https://www.replacements.com/china-spode-blue-bird-fine-stone/c/95571 As to rarity, Replacements h...
  32. fortapache, the brain is a funny old thing: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/rabbitduck-illusion-ambiguous-image-reversible-figure-2543646499
  33. fortapache, Very cool. :-) I have to say that I don't remember any of the characters besides Gumby and Pokey, and had to look them up: https://gumby.fandom.com/wiki/Prickle https://gumby.fand...
  34. fortapache, Most commenters see a dog head rather than a bird head, but this may be because we're seeing 2D photos rather than the 3D real thing you have in your possession.
  35. fortapache, Cool. :-) It might be scotoma, but I agree with dav2no1 about that third picture looking like a dog's head. "It is nice and heavy and perfect for use on ruffians and hooligans." N...
  36. Hi, Teaganjames. :-) Google Lens says your pin is a Modern Woodsmen of America artifact. Here's similar one in roughly the same color scheme (there are many others out there of varying styles): ...
  37. Kjhoran, Thanks for looking at it. :-) I didn't really think it was a minting process problem, but that very irregular circumference made me wonder what kind of post-mint damage it was.
  38. Hey, CandaceSimone1978. :-) "sorry I was using text to talk and it's sometimes spell words all wrong" I've never tried talk to text, and I shudder to think what it might come up with for me. >8...
  39. Steptoe1, Those look to me like the kind of stud earrings that are used in initial piercing (the posts are thick, they have pointed ends, and a little "click stop" on the posts to help the earring bac...
  40. Steptoe1, Cute. :-) Like dav2no1 wrote, it's Cedric the Dragon. Here's a twin on etsy with a bit more information: *snip* Cedric the dragon is going on holiday vacation travel enamel lapel...
  41. D'oh! Now that I'm looking again, I see in your fourth picture that it does indeed open. Anyway, I'm wondering about your characterization of it as "Victorian." Certainly, some automobiles were ...
  42. CalypsoSabrina, Cool. :-) I didn't know anything about these puzzles previously, but here is a link to another at the Smithsonian with a bit of background: https://americanhistory.si.edu/collect...
  43. Steptoe1, Cute. <3 I found a possible twin, although the link doesn't behave quite the same on my hybrid as it does on my smartphone (single picture only on my hybrid): https://www.etsy.com/list...
  44. tshusker, Cool. :-) Here are the four patents: https://patents.google.com/patent/US2059020A/ https://patents.google.com/patent/US2066157/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US2107169/en ...
  45. As a matter of fact, when you see the information at that external website, they're trying to get banking information, so they're straight up evil.
  46. Newfld, I figured as much, but thought I'd drop a line to CW S&T about it. Your advice about ignoring these so-called system alerts is probably best: ignore them. I went as far as that external ...
  47. Newfld, Yeah, I suddenly saw these System Alert comments on a number of unrelated posts, and though what the hey is this. I contacted CW S&T management, and even created a post with images: h...
  48. Hey, WillysVA. :-) "We couldn't find any manufacturer's name, but I was thinking it might be from around the 1940s due to the stamped-steel construction. Has an ink well cutout, but I understand th...
  49. ho2cultcha, I just took another look at this, because you resurrected it with your most recent comment. Four years. I must be having fun, because time is flyin.' };-)
  50. Hey, Angus100. :-) I fed a copy of one of your pictures into Google Lens, and I did find one hit for a near twin (a different color scheme) that described it as storage for a rain bonnet; however, ...
