Antique (1925) Boye Sewing Machine Needle Tin with Wooden Needle Tubes

Description

Very nice old Boye sewing machine needle tin. Copyright date on top is February 1925. It is approximately 16 inches across the top and about 3 1/2 inches tall, slightly more including the dial and access knob. I did not try to clean the tin for fear of damaging the graphics. I opened about 12-15 of the needle cases (wooden tubes) and didn't find any needles. Some of the tubes may have needles as I did not check them all. I have no idea how many of the needle cases there are. I also do not know if all of the storage holes had tubes in them when the tin was new. There are several empty spaces now. The tin is in really good all around condition in my opinion but please check out all of the photos and decide for yourself.
