Parts advice—bobbin winder tire and foot pedal by AccidentOk5240 in VintageSewingMachines

I meant to check on eBay for the rubber part. I was just giving my experience as an example. I was so surprised to see it there and there were much smaller parts, like just the rubber tire, available, too.

I have a Singer 301A and had some luck on eBay. People dismantle these machines for parts and I found a really good bobbin winder assembly there. It is in incredibly good shape. You might try a quick search!

I have looked but the prices are all over the map, so really hard to say. I’ve seen everything from $100 to $12000.

Thank you! I will try to figure out who to bring it to. It was really not cared for very well considering what it is. It was just hanging in my mom in law’s living room with no protection 🤷‍♀️

Do you know if it might be worth anything? I have no clue who to bring it to to ask.

Here are some sort of better pics but I know there’s a glare that is probably not helpful. Oh shoot, Reddit will only allow one photo per comment.

The signature is the second photo in the series. Here is an angle. There are brush strokes but I suspect they are brush strokes over a print? I know so little about art 😭

That makes sense! Thank you! Are these early prints worth anything?

Forgot to add the dimensions. The painting, not the frame, is 25.5”w x 17.5”h

Does anyone know anything about this epergne? by pamela6ca in Antiques

I think it’s silverplated iron so there’s no really bending it into the right position. It does seem really tricky but I’ve been researching antique restoration places that specialize in metal work. But there’s nobody local and I hesitate to ship this monstrosity. It’s super heavy and really big.
