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.

Vintage Swivel Cuff Holder Clip / Card Hold Out / Cheat Clip – Wizard – Pat. 1889-1903 This measures 2-1/2 inches length and has a spring action swivel clip on one end, and a folding clip on the other with three Patent dates; Oct. 22, 1889, Nov 18, 1902, and June 16, 1903. The name WIZARD is written on this item in three places, as well as a very decorative border design on one side. It needs polished / is all-metal. I believe it was originally made to be used as a cuff holder (for men to replace their dirty cuffs, as needed), and then someone saw it could also be used to cheat at poker, and the cards could be clipped up the sleeve using this as well. Both clips operate correctly!
