The larger one has a pin cushion with it; other one has a pin cushion built in. Larger one also has an open slot in back that can hold a tape measure or ruler.

The 6 wooden thread spools are vintage also. Cuties for your crafts room display shelf! 2/12rtmc+3/12  This is the Real McCoy in Pin Cushions!

MADE IN GERMANY  For sale is a very unusual German silver(Hanau) pin cushion.  The base has an elaborate raised pattern on it and is shaped in the form of a heart.  There is a raised stand in the middle of the heart with the attached pin cushion.  The pin cushion is marked on the top part of the heart tray (SEE PHOTO).  The piece stands approximately 4 1/2 inches tall (measured from the bottom of the bun feet to the top of the silver rim around the velvet cushion).  The heart base is approximately 4 1/2 inches wide (widest area of the heart) and has a length of approximately 4 3/4 inches (tip of heart to top curve of heart).  The round pin cushion itself has  diameter of approximately 2 3/4 inches (from outer edge of silver rim to other outer edge of rim).  The velvet is original and I believe was originally a cream color but has darkened over the years.  I believe this piece to date to approximately 1900.  The piece is in very good condition with no repairs.
