    Description

    Good morning from Congers, NY.  It is always interesting to find someone's personal collection of something.  I purchased this group of Mauchline ware from a local estate.  Each item will be posted individually.  Thank you for looking in and happy eBaying!
    "Bunker Hill Monument / 221 Feet High".  Pincushion / pin cushion / thimble holder (with thimble).  Excellent overall condition, nice tight fit on thimble compartment, transfer not abraded.  Base of the item has a sort of anti-slip coating.  The pincushion top has some holes (see photo) but really it presents very well; just looks "old" not "shabby".
    The thimble is a small silver or silver plated thimble, roughly .75" tall.  It came with the item, so it stays with the item.  No silver marks, a small "C" or "G" mark (no photo; if a photo of the mark is going to make you purchase the item I'll be happy to add one; I promise you the mark on the thimble is just not that exciting.  Really.
    The last photo shows the collection as I purchased it, this auction is only for the item listed in the title.
