    Antique Victorian or Edwardian SEWING THREAD CASE
    Fob Brass & Marbled Celluloid?
    This is a an antique thread spool holder
    with marbled green and faux-mother of pearl design over brass
    . There is an original colorful tassel attached to a triangular ring at the end. I think the marbled part is a thin layer of celluloid, though I am not sure. I am not entirely sure of the age, but it is likely 1880s-1920s. I think celluloid was used on photo albums even in the 1800s. If anyone knows the age of this piece, let me know! A measuring stick is shown in the photos. Please see photos carefully for condition, as this is an antique and has some wear. The tassel is still attached, but very delicately. Shipping includes insurance. The last 2 photos show a German needle case and an egg case for sale in my shop. I am selling several sewing accessories from the same collection. Please see my other items! I sell vintage and antique miniatures and dollhouse accessories also.
    I have branched out to this new store, but I have sold thousands of items
    on ebay as my primary occupation since 2006,
    with 100% positive feedback!
    Thanks for looking!
