The watch has a 14k yellow gold hunters style case. The serial number is 5744633, and it has 15 jewels. We looked it up on NAWCC, and that is where we found it was made between 1/1/1892 and 12/31/1893. It is considered a size 6. The works appear to have to have a gold design and it says American Waltham Watch Co. inside. The dial is white and is in excellent condition with no cracks. The case has a floral design on front and back. There are two small dents on the back of the case, but the case opens and closes.

It was professionally refinished after I bought it, but now has a couple of small dents in the surface. Other than that, it's in great condition.
It appears to have a veneer inlay in the surface, making a geometeric pattern.
The site won't upload my pics but if you send an email I will email you pics of this lovely table.

Sew Gem 215
This machine model was one of the last truly American sewing machines produced. Also manufactured in a light green color. It was manufactured by Gellman Manufacturing Company of Rock Island, Ill, being the invention of Charles H Petskeyes who took out six patents for the machine's loop taker, rotary hook mechanism, low cost simplified stitch length regulator with reverse from 1949 to 1955. Warren Hanson's thread guide patent was granted in 1954.

Sincere's History of the Sewing Machine said the machine showed a lack of anything different, yet the authors were not to know that Petskeyes' patents were later cited in patents by Borletti, Pfaff, Singer, Electrolux, Necchi, Strobel and Bernina.

The rotary hook movement is on the right of the needle and the machine is driven by a chain. Perhaps the idea for this came from Petskeyes' earlier patent for a Pusher Conveyer (see diagram), for Gellman Manufacturing were heavily involved in paper wrapping and handling means for bread wrapping machines (known as Producer Synchromatic Wrapper & Slicer). In 1961 the company was involved in a court case involving supplying their bread machines to the government.

Previously the company, under the leadership of Israel C Gellman, became known for adjustable wrenches, often known as Polly wrenches.

I have a Marklin toy called "Aeropal" it's a tin toy light house with boats. I was wondering if you could tell me about it. I have a sample picture and I also have the toy if you would like to look at it.
