at least S&H isn't murder on ephemera. I look for cards to go with each SM as well as accessories. Years from now someone will part it all back out & sell it on ebay!!

That is cool. I love that idea.

oldsewnsew 04-17-2014 11:39 AM

which idea? Parting out or gathering together? *chuckle*

Charles E. Naylor, born abt 1852, Pennsylvania, died Dec 1911 Alameda, CA

San Francisco address directory 1878, Davis Sewing Machine Company, bookkeeper
San Francisco address directory 1890-1891, New Home Sewing Machine Company, general manager

Besides quilting, collecting sewing machines I also collect ancestors, AKA genealogy. I am fascinated by people and names. So you can now approximately date Mr. Naylor's business card to the 1890's.

That is awesome!!!! We may need to talk about a few of those I have...

I happen to work about 5 minutes from Alameda.. too cool!

That is cool Steve. He lived for many years at 1439 Morton in Alameda. By 1900 his occupation is an attorney. I do like researching. It is like the hunt for sewing machines, I enjoy the chase.
