this link is from a google book where you can read about adamantine pins
none of these links tell me what ere they are from im assuming the 1920's or 30's as I have a sewing machine from than and it has some features as the sewing box..I love the look on my machine..and its in great shape what can I use to Preserve the box as on the bottom it is peeling some, any suggestions welcome.
