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
Hi!... It's exactly what you said it was for...I think c1900... I have one the same but not quite as nice as yours....:-)
Oh that's lovely to know! Thank you! I was told by an auction house it was a bobbin but I thought I was right! X
Very cool!
