    Hi there,

    I wondering if anyone knows more about this and how rare it is if at all?

    I think this might be sewing needle dispenser... It Could be brass but really I don't have any idea. I think it is quite old. Each tube to hold the needles is a slightly different colour.

    Marked with makers name W Bartleet & Sons Patent on the top, the base with a diamond mark

    Around the base are the numbers which I presume are for the the different sized needles

    The condition is ok I think!
    Height just under 7 cms

    Unsolved Mystery
