This clock has been in my family a long time. It's older than the US and it still works perfectly!

Melon baskets (because of the shape) are the best! They hold so much stuff down inside there. I've never heard them called egg baskets but it makes perfect sense.

I used to call the woman on the left, all in black, the Wicked Witch of the West. Kids, what can I say?

Belonged to my mother-in-law's mom. My mother-in-law was born in 1924, so this is at least 100 years old. Her mother sold butter molded in this to her neighbors in Rome, Georgia.

Definitely older, if it has a treadle---though many of those old machines were electrified later on. If it works, you have a real treasure. If it doesn't, it could probably be made to run. Those early Singers are darn near indestructible. (My own Singer is a baby by comparison--1949 and I wouldn't trade it for anything.)

I'm guessing it belonged to a paleontologist, but he got tired of studying the same old $hit and sold it.
