This machine is well constructed and during ww II my mother used it to make dresses.  it makes a chain stitch but if secured

it will not unravel.

I can't figure out how to upload a picture, if you can provide me with an email address, I'd be glad to forward photo's of the painting.  Please feel free to contact me via my cell phone (302) 249-7282.  Mike in Delaware.

Just found this sight, don't have a photo yet... soon now that we know that we may need it. Can you still give us some sort of history on this item.

This framed print of anthony thieme has the atsonea cream and gilt edged frame and has hung on nans wall for at least 35 years but i guess its 1950'2 or 60's. it is printed on a hard 'plasticy' material and has the original tag

Given by an elderly (80+) gentalman who said that his father found it in Florida when he was a boy.
Not sure if he ment himself, or that  the father was a boy.

I have been unable to find a proffessional that will appraise.

One said I would have to pay big $ to have it carbon dated.

There are two types of miniature cowboy and indian stand up sets. One set is opaque hard plastic hand painted with clothing and faces. There are no markings of maker on these at all. The second type are a softer transparent plastic with no painting on them . On the base of the second type is written 'made in Hong Kong'.There is a photo of them by a small baby jar to compare the size.
