Vintage Bakelite Pocket Sewing Kit w/ Scissors
Germany * Early 1900s
This nice little sewing etui is made of Bakelite or another early plastic. It has a lovely turned shape and the screw on top is a thimble. Inside is a needle case with exterior thread bobbins and a little pair of scissors. The bottom has an elaborate tassel with a Bakelite bead.
The condition of both the case and tools is excellent with no chips or cracks. The little scissors have an intact spring and cut well. They are marked "Germany". The case measures 3 1/4" high (not counting tassel) and every bit of it is original. The tassel adds another 4 1/2".
