What era sewing machines?

Any era but mostly from like late 1800s to mid 1900's
I can tell you that the antique gold filled watches have value IF they were produced in the United States. At that time period the US Made watches were considered the highest quality and most dependable in the world. Foreign watches at that time period were considered inferior and still are by most collectors
That is so cool!
Craigslist sometimes has some really good finds.

I have an old stove in the basement of one of my rentals. I assume it is from the late 40's to early 50's (house was built in 1954).

It has a gas hook up and a compartment for coal. I assume you could use it with gas or coal.

It weighs about half a ton. Previous owner left it there because it was too heavy to move. I just left it there to annoy the tenants (a pair of freshly minted doctors)

I have no idea if it's of any value.
