Vintage Celluloid Needle Case –Victorian Sewing Case
This pretty case would date to early 1900’s - 1915. Celluloid was invented in 1870 and was mostly used as a replacement to ivory. In 1910 Bakelite was discovered and then was more widely used in the 1920’s. Later plastics become the more economical replacement for both. Celluloid burned easily and not a lot of that survived.
This case has some pinholes but other than that is in very nice condition for its age. Size: 3-3/4 inches length and 1 inch width. Lid fits nice and snug, as intended. It has one stick- pin inside, and the tip of one is sticking into its side. The original owner apparently also used it as a pincushion. In early times quilting bees were a way for women to gather and socialize, and they often would carry these little sewing kits along to hold their needles.
