I would like to know more about an antique piano/spinet c. 1820 with a label that reads J. Baker & T. L. Evenden #130 Vine Street, Philadelphia. Was it made in Philadelphia or abroad, given that no pianos were made in the US before 1835 and there is a note suggesting it might be from London?

I have an antique sewing box, pre-1900, and I would like to know: 1. Was the original purpose of this box to be used as a sewing box? 2. Who was the manufacturer of this box? 3. What country was this box made in? Additionally, I need to know what type of craftsman could restore this box, as the lock is broken and the wood needs repair, and what product should I use to preserve the wood.
