i am sorry-i really only know that she has had it as long as I have been alive-there are baby pix of me that it is in. She was Greek and her collectibles EXTREMELY vary in origin-as you will see. I have some incredible things... I kind of think that it may be of Turkish origin-just a memory flash though.

This metalwork lathe possibly dates from the early 1900's or earlier, although we're not quite sure. The lathe was the main piece of equipment in an engineering business, housed  in an old mill. If you can shed any light on it's value and significance (if any) it would be great.

Thank you.

I bought this book at a used book sale at work. It’s a 1934 5th reprinting of the book "Smuggler's Luck" by Stackpole. It’s in very good condition, no rips, tears, and the book is full in its entirety.

This settee is possibly made of oak, although I am not certain. The backrest is quite straight and virtually unpadded. The upholstery covers the backside of the backrest as well. The little 'finials' at the top sides of the backrest appear oriental in nature to me. The wood panel in the front of the backrest is rather plain although I have included closeups of the top which appears to have a balance scale type of carving and the bottom carving has a fan and scroll. Overall the carvings are rather squarish: at the top of the backrest the carving reminds me of dental work?
