At first I thought it was a Wilcox & Gibbs, and it's nice to see one with the wing nut in place. But the labels say "New Home".

So what am I missing??

I'm glad that house pic made you all laugh. :-) It's the William Livingstone House, a famous Detroit ruin. http://detroit1701.psc.isr.umich.edu...20Mansion.html The front fell off of it and what was left has been demolished. The problem was they moved it from it's original lot and stone foundation to a different lot with an inadequate concrete block foundatoin, so it slumped and crumbled.

"In good shape for the age" ... Pssst, it isn't 300 years old.
It looks to me like Noah found his sewing machine after the flood.

I think he will be sorely disappointed when he finds out that machine & table don't have trade value of an iPod, iPad or an iPhone!

It doesn't have trade value for a Granny Smith apple.

Sounds like she got scammed before when trying to sell it. I think it was probably a mutual scamming as the bad checks were written for $2976. Somebody needs to look out for this poor soul!!

It was a real nice piece and well worth the $2976 until the check bounced and her husband threw the whole thing against the garage wall in a fit of rage...
