We have a total of 40 old glass plate negatives that we found while renovating one of our rentals. In the collection are some pic's that resemble alot of what Asahel Curtis was doing at the time when this was taken(era)... He was also doing the same type of picture taking at that time too. When I looked at his collection online @ the WSU Special Collections, the years here showed from 1898 til 1909~ish? He took alot of pic's of people doing hop picking & berry picking & he also did ALOT of when the Railways were doing a bunch of construction here in the Northwest. I also have a pic of construction being done on the railways. Plus I have 3 landscape sceneries that if you put them side by side with his they look pretty much identicle!?

I do not know much of anything about this violin. We believe it is an Exact Copy of the Famous Antonious Cremona Violin

Manufactured solely for Slingerland's Correspondence School of Music, Chicago, Il.

I would like to know anything someone could tell me about this piece.

Thank you!!!

box mirror etching on glass glass mounted on wood was told it was star of bethleham etched from back side

Detail is still fabulous, I love the open-work on the handle and the lip on the spout. Lid is intact. There is a small dent on one side.

This machine is in excellent conditon. My grandmother left it to us and I am looking for the age and possible value.
It is a foot pedal model and the serial # is 5053727

In each corner on the bottom is stamped: 1) EPNS 1200 2) Wm A Rogers 3) Sheffield Reproduction 4) two "marks". The lid latch is separated from the lid. Absolutely no dents or scratches. It has not been cleaned (not sure if I should).
