I have owned this desk for about 20 years and would like to sell it. A family member bought it in the early 1980's in Southern California. He thinks he paid around $1,000.00 for it. It is an early american mission style piece. He thinks 1920's. The bottom of the legs have a little wear and there is a small sharpie mark on the middle drawer (not even visible in the picture). Does anyone have any idea of what this is worth? I would like to sell it.
I have an 1898 Singer treadle style Sewing Machine Model 27 Vibrating Shuttle number 2. It is the type with an extension that folds out and the machine is stored inside the base. I also have the little wooden box with all of the attachments, the foot and the thing that measures the seam allowance, two bobbins and a small Singer envelope with three needles. There are also two instruction manuals. One original and one 1899 reprint. They are both missing pages and most of the pages are tattered and torn. The original is missing the cover. The wood top of the sewing machine needs refinishing but overall its in great condition. I have been trying to find out how much its worth, but all of the ones that I can find for sale don't say whether or not they have the accessories that mine has. Some are in worse condition others are refinished and most are different years. So I have no idea. If anyone knows please let me know.
The candle holders are very small, and in fact may actually have been pivots for larger, swinging candle arms. The back plate is screwed on, and appears to be the same material. The mirror is beveled, and has a chip beneath the surface on the bottom edge.
These all have the Royal Warwick seal on the bottom. Blue/White pattern with a floral pattern around the boarders and a view of a castle, and boat on the large plates and a cottage and stream on the small pieces.
This is a large blue porcelain wall plate which has been in the family for ever. There is damage from use as a stand for a flower pot. It has an'arabic 'stye basic patern please see picture.
