CARDBOARD TOILET PIN CUBE #1, Antique Sewing Item, w/ Original Pins & Labels, LG

Description

Antique SEWING ITEM -- TOILET PIN CUBE #1 -- was likely produced in the early 1900s. It was made in Germany and is trademarked: Maid of America, ASBRO. This piece is made of cardboard and it measures approximately 2.5 inches on all sides. There are a series of glass-headed toilet pins inserted on to each side of the cube -- there were originally 300 pins in all -- although it appears that a few are either missing or have lost their glass heads. There is a company label on the front and back. Please refer to the attached images for more information on size, construction, and condition. Overall condition: Solid VG+..... In addition to the missing pins, the cardboard and paper labels appear to have surface wear and a bit of soiling -- but the cube is intact, with no holes, splits or cuts. Overall, this interesting piece will display quite well. ***************************************** PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT an expert on vintage sewing items. My mom -- Nancy Moran -- was a longtime collector and she especially loved sewing memorabilia and antique buttons. She is downsizing, so my brother and I am helping her sell some of her collections. (You can find the items my brother is listing at sellmomsstuff1). But I am not completely familiar with all the terminology and intricacies of her collecting specialties. I try to use various notes she left with items to describe them to the best of my ability, but understand that any terms I use in describing these items, may not be terms I am familiar or experience with. So please use the attached images to form your own opinions. I am also not knowledgeable on the hobby criteria in condition grading -- so I use my condition grades in a commonsense manner -- as if grading any collectible -- they are not based on any specific hobby standards. Please contact me if you have specific questions, and I will answer them as best I can. PLEASE SEE OUR OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE WONDERFUL VINTAGE SEWING ITEMS, ANTIQUE BUTTONS, AND OTHER COLLECTIBLES.
