Vintage Antique Brass 100 Needle Case Dispenser Jahncke's Mitrailleuse England
An elegant little antique Jahncke's Patent Mitrailleuse Needle Case (
mitrailleuse refers to the resemblance to the long barreled military volley guns)
.
This is preserved in good condition with normal wear and tear with aging. The vintage wear and patina includes some scratches and scuffs, some handling marks and vintage soiling. There is some wear around lid and a few dings too. A good bit of soiling inside. No rust spots visible.
Unlike others this one is a '100 needles' case and comes with a hole for dispensing needles.
It has a turn mechanism to access different sized needles. The needle sizes were printed on the case (numbers not visible anymore) and a tiny pointer moves to the appropriate number and the needle is shaken out of a tiny hole on the lid. Inside is a
star-shaped
5 compartment that can hold 100 needles (presently does not have any needles). It is
probably made of tin with an enamelled or possibly varnished finish and brass ends. One end with the hole can be twisted open for placing needles inside.
The branding on the item is '
JAHNCKE'S PATENT MITRAILLEUSE NEEDLE CASE'
&
'BEST ENGLISH STEEL NEEDLES EGG EYED 100 SHARPS'
Truly a collector's item.
Size: 6 cm in length (approx.)
