Description
DESCRIPTION: A celluloid, Art Deco period, needle and thread case with thimble on top. Decorated with an Art Deco style lady.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This Art Deco period, celluloid, sewing kit is small enough to carry around in a handbag or luggage. It consists of an outer case – decorated with the face of an Art Deco style lady with earrings and a necklace. A red thimble sits on top. This unscrews and reveals a hollow tube that has four sections for different coloured threads. The bottom of this tube unscrews and you can store a few needles inside.
MEASUREMENTS AND CONDITION: The needle case is in good condition. The screws work well. The picture is not scratched. The only thing to mention is that it was difficult to get the colour of the cream part of the picture right. The bottom bit – around her shoulders – was showing up with too much of a red tint. I have done my best with this! The container measures about 2 1/2 inches in length.
