Question
Hi!
)
I have a question regarding a sewing stand, and since you're an expert on sewing items, hopefully you can help me out. It is a betsy ross sewing stand, I was told it dates back to 1910. It is in near perfect condition, and comes with old sewing needles and yarn. Any idea what the value of this could be worth? Thanks.
Hello Daniel,
I'm stumped on this one I'm afraid. I have never heard of a Betsy Ross sewing stand.
I think your best bet is going to be to write to the Betsy Ross Museum to see if they might be of assistance to you.

Expertise
I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
