A Dressmaker 2400 sewing machine, that's only problem is its missing its bobbin cage, I can't effing find anywhere, which is sad because it works, and seems like it could sew denim to leather.

Try ebay. They had a few replacement parts for your machine and they weren't expensive.

I'm so old I was going to say 'my memories' but I can't remember them, so, never mind.

Coin silver spoons from the 1740's.

Most of my treasures are from the 1870's onward.

My oldest possession is a Pieper Belgian Damascus barreled shotgun made in 1892. My Dad found it in the attic of an old house, wrapped in oilskin. Its a beautiful piece. Nicely engraved and the Damascus tubes are quite pretty. Have no idea how much it might go for as a collector, don't care, really. Its a nice accent to my decor and I often wonder if it could talk....???

I have an old windup phonegraph that plays cylindrical records with several cylinders. Some cracked, some chiped.

Also several pieces of decorative glass vases and other glass and crystal items.

Ages unknown.
