Found in an elderly woman's home. She stated her in-laws had brought it over from Europe!,, it's all wood with four wheels and a big hand crank on the side. Brass name plate on the front that reads "Dustaw, The dustaw , hares patents, the dustaw vacuum cleaner co,ltd... Birmingham. Haven't been able to find anything on it. The top opens and inside above the bellows is a camshaft type of works.. Please let me know what I got and a value!!?, thanks. Curt...
The only thing I know about this painting is that it has been in my mother's family since before 1945. It is a picture of Mary feeding baby Jesus. I have tried finding information as to who the artist is because the signature cannot be seen, which may be due to it being in a room where there were heavy smokers. A reverse image look-up was attempted, and no results were found. If there is anyone who can help me find out who the artist is and when this painting was done, I would be very greatful. Thank you.
Hi, someone was giving this away because they really disliked it,I though it was adorable so they gave it to me for free. Came home did a little research and cannot find one like this anywhere on internet only ones similar. Not really looking to sell, but would love to know if it has any value and from what time period would it be from. Not sure if it is vintage or not, but it is in really good shape, has been rewired or is a replica of an older one because the wiring that is on it is not from a vintage time. The shades are not paper as I would guess an older one would have, but more of a vinyl type material. May or may not have been repainted, I do not know. No markings to identify. All tassels are there. It appears to be a mixture of wicker, iron, and not sure what the tassels are made of. They are very light almost like plastic, but I do not think that is what they are made of. Hope I provided enough information you are able to help. Oh, and it measures about 29" tall, not including tassel at bottom x 19" from tip of flower leaf to tip and about 13 pounds. Thank you, Christine
