Cute little English sewing needle kit with handle by an unknown maker. It is made out of a faux red leatherette covering with embossed silver tone design and words. It is approximately 2.50 inches wide and 3.87 inches long not including handle. It is good used condition with no tears, but does have some wear to the edging of the case and inside wording and points of the interior. Someone also wrote with what looks to be pencil but then tried to erase it, and does have some light staining. The needled are contained in a center holder that is attached in the center and reads Sharps Manufactured in England. We do not know if the needles are original to the case.

It is made along the lines of a coin purse and measures 5 1/8th inches long and 2 1/8th inches wide at the widest point, tapering down to 1 inch at the other end. Each end opens independently. The leather shows some very light wear where the thimble has rubbed against it. The scissors are extremely sharp and in excellent condition as is the metal thimble. (a number 11).

Neat antique button hook (buttonhook) likely used to lace up women's shoes, although some people also use these as crochet hooks in doing crocheting. Has a nifty old turned wood handle with a metal cap underneath the metal button hook part (we don't know what type of metal this is but it is not sterling or silver plate). There are no manufacturers markings to indicate exact age, but from the handle type, old wood and condition, we would guess that this dates to the 1920s period or earlier. Measures about 5 1/4 inches in length, 3/4 inch in width and sits 3/4 inch in height when laying on a table. While all there, this vintage piece does show its age, giving it a great older appearance. There are two elongated cracks in the wood handle starting at the metal cap with lengths of about 1 1/4 inches each. The wood used for the handle itself is of the type that has inset lines in the wood making it look like there are other cracks all over when these are naturally occurring lines which give it character. There are, however, also line cracks on the outer end of the wood handle that are cracks, not natural wood lines. There are two lines encircling the wood handle which were put there when made as part of the design, perhaps to aid in gripping. There is a bit of dark spotting on the wood with other age wear via some scraping/rubbing, etc. The cap itself has two cracks going vertically along its sides like the wood handle, as well as much white/gray spotting/wear and some denting on its topside (the side near the metal rod). You can turn the handle when holding onto the metal hook part; it doesn't come apart and we don't know if it was originally meant to be able to be turned. The metal hook has tarnish/dark spotting, some rusting (not bad) and several tiny indentations/lines/marks/scrapes/denting from use, but no cracks. A nifty vintage piece which was clearly used but this gives it a great old look and believeability of age. A nice addition to any collection of button hooks or wood handled utensils in general.
