Using a Clothes Line?I love to line dry my clothes but they have lots of wrinkles, lint and cat hair on them. What can I do to save money by not using the dryer but keep my clothes and linens looking nice. I don't think ironing would help save on the electric bill.

 

Vintage Brass Chandelier?

Vintage Brass Chandelier?I've acquired this chandelier but can't find any information. It's 8 light bronze, I believe. All crystals seem to be intact. Fixture functions perfectly

 

Two figurines dressed in old fashioned clothing.

Identifying Figurines?Wondering if anyone knows anything about these figurines and if they are worth anything?

 

A wooden desk with a drawer open.

Value of Conant Ball Draftsman Style Desk?Thanks in advance. I have a pair of these Conant Ball desks that were in my dad and uncle's rooms in the late 50s. I cant find any like them online and would like to know their value. The desktop is 48x30 inches with a single hideaway drawer. The top alone weighs 52 lbs. I imagine they are rock maple with a glossy laminate. Both are in excellent condition. Draftsman style but not adjustable.

 

A decorative tassel.

Identifying a Tassel?This was a gift to my mother from my aunt, but not sure what it is or what it is for? Does anybody know anything about this?

 

A porcelain doll in a box.

Value of Cathay Porcelain Doll?Doll number 582 limited edition. What is the doll worth? She is still the box.

Repairing A Sewing Machine Presser Foot Lever?Hi, I have a Kenmore 158.15251. The lever in the back of the machine that lowers or lifts the presser foot is moving freely without moving the presser foot. Seems like it is loose. How can I fix this?

 

The typewriter not working correctly.

Canon AP 350 Ribbon Problem?The ribbon seems to be lifting up as the daisy wheel is moving. We've pulled the daisy wheel out to look at it and there's no reason this should be happening. Perhaps there is something we're missing. We made sure all the settings on the typewriter are correct to match the ribbon cassette. Nothing seems to be working to fix this issue. Thanks for any insight that you may be able to provide.

 

A closeup of a Barbie's face.

Information About Barbie?Does anybody know the name of this Barbie?

 

The marking on the back of the china.

Identifying Homer Laughlin China?I have been reading about the Homer Laughlin China and I bought these at an antique store near my home. I was looking at the mark and wondered if they are legit?
