Antique Questions Forum / Re: Antique Table and Chairs are they worth anything?

I'd get someone in to appraise this set. You'll have to pay for their time, but it would be worth it in the long run.

That is a beautiful time keeper! I'd say the pendulum is original, as it's in keeping with the style of the piece. Try these links for info on the maker:

It's a bread/roll tray. I have one similar to it, from my grandmother.

Antique Questions Forum / Re: New house. Old Stuff. What is this?

Sewing machine attachments! That box is the first of it's kind I've seen, and most likely worth more than the attachments. Once you find the machine they go to, you'll be able to figure out more.

Antique Questions Forum / Re: termites in antique wood chair..what to do?

As a former Navy wife, I had to be on the lookout for such "activity" all the time. An acceptable practice was to take bugspray, press the nozzle hole against the hole in the wood, and spray. Wipe off any residue that oozes out. Pinpoint the uppermost hole, and work your way down. Keep an eye on the piece to see if there is still activity, and retreat once, if needed.

Hope this helps.
