This is a piggy bank I got from my dad about 9 years ago. I don't know much about the history behind it, other than my dad was the only owner and it's over 25 years old. He can't remember where he got it, although he said it may have been custom made for him.
I am selling a 1953 Precedent by Drexel Dining Room Suite designed by Edward Wormley. I am believed to be the second owner of this Dining Set. The set includes the Credenza, Gatefold leg drop leaf table that seats 6 and includes 3 extra leaves ( have never seen another Precedent table like it that has gatefold legs) and lighted China Cabinet. The set is still in its original state. It has very minimal wear, which is on the table top surface. I also have the custom fit vinyl padded table top cover. The Credenza still has the original lining in the top two drawers for silver and also have the original matching polishing cloth. The China Cabinet and Credenza have brass handles and accents. The furniture is stucturally sound with no cracks, no water damage or discoloring. This was made back when furniture was constructed of real hard woods, not the chipboard stull like is found now. I hate to part with the set but its just too much furniture for for a single person. I have been told by a few people that the wood type is Bleached Mahogany. If you have any questions please dont hesitate to email me or text me (765)354-8137. I am asking $1200.00 for the set or best reasonable offer. However I do know what this set is worth and will not be low balled. I am not looking to trade only to sell. I also going to include my very extensive collection of 1951 Libby Golden Foliage Stemware and Drinking Glasses with the Dining Room Suite. The glassware alone is worth close to $1000.00 and is all in excellent shape. Thanks so much for you looking.
This iteam appears to be a gravy boat or cream pour. Something along those lines. It has four feet that hold the peice upright. It has reddish/pink flowers painted on one side and blue flowers and leaves on the other side. It has a gold line around the rim. The bottom says Warranted Ironstone China and has what appears to be a coat of arms for the stamp.
All i know is that this item is somewhere between WW! and th 1940's because it has just an USA stamp on it. It has no company logo. It is a green vase or planted bowl (I am assuming). It has a ribbed pattern in the pottery on the corners. It is green with a copper tone overlay. Thats all i can really say about this peice. Any help would be appreciated.
We bought this sewing machine and don't really know much about it. It has "Barclay" written on the machine itself. It's within a large wooden table and after some research, estimate the year to be around 1875-1877, but we aren't entirely sure however. WE just want to know the history of this machine and how much it would be worth.
