Thank you! I'll use that term and if someone disagrees they can write it on the pad of paper supplied for comments! The orange satin wide ribbon is disintegrating and I had thought of replacing it, but unless I'm going to wear it at a special festival, it's probably better left alone. At least it is out in a display case where others can see it. I have 3 floor displayers and 2 wall (3 shelf) displayers. Do wish I could find a Czech toy sewing machine--maybe someday. Don't know if there was a manufacturer there or whether they were imported from another country. Germany had several toy sewing machine companies early on so it's possible either Bohemia or Czechoslovakia depending on what year discussed. While working on one of the displayers this afternoon, a young girl became interested, so naturally I asked her if she knew where this country was--never heard of it, so she received a geography lesson today!

Good luck with your display! I'm sure it will be beautiful -- and I think you are making the right decision not to replace the worn ribbon. A new ribbon could look pretty but it would change it. I don't collect antiques but I believe the original makes it more valuable. But aside from that, there is a certain beauty in the original -- a beauty in the article that has been used and cherished. Have you considered taking pictures and posting them later. I would be interested in seeing your collection. Thanks.
