very nice Renee[]~~i wonder if the sewing machine is a Sample one to show people???

 

[Dugout]

I never thought about it being a Sample.

Wow that's really nice to have the trunk and some treasures besides! Some families emigrated here with all their worldly possessions in a trunk like that.

Very nice family heirloom. My Wife, the Great Sewer of the West, has a growing collection of those small sewing machines and they are mostly Childs Toys though there are a few Saleman Samples around but very pricey. That one is a toy but they still work, will sew. We are currently bidding on eBay, over $100 on one. It is mainly Cast Iron and heavier made than the one shown here. This type usually go in the $50 - $100 range, not bad. It dates from the first quarter of the 20th century.

I also have my Mother's toy sewing machine and if I recall right it is lighter built than this one. It is black. Thank You Jim for the sewing machine info. You should post your wife's collection on here.

ORIGINAL: Dugout

This is the only label it has on it. It is on the top of it.

Hey Renee,

I'd be wondering where the other one was...

That being said, you've got a beautiful heirloom trunk there. Do you know the places it has been?

check the glasses to see if there uranium ware use a black light or uv light they will glow if they are.
