I think the beautiful leather envelope was for calling cards, those would be left at someone’s home you had visited, or left on the porch if friend was not home. A treasure box for sure.
I am so jealous, what a treasure box! I just came here to say that I feel so vindicated, seeing a collection like this and hearing your reactions. Some folks do not understand how we can be excited by a box full of things they would consider junk. I feel such a kind ship with people who were the careful custodians of all these odds and ends. I'm so glad to be with my people, the packrats of history.
I feel the same way. A dear older lady who was like a mom to me gave me a box full of her sewing items. It’s truly treasure. I gasped ,I held onto items, I cried and I was blessed she chose me to have all those items. There is something about touching something that someone else loved. I feel like I’ve stepped into their life in the past.
Hi Corinna, those wooden Things you didn’t know look like they are made for mending the fingers of gloves. Like you would use for mending socks except those are bigger. But wow love to find a mystery box like that too. Wonderful!!!
Wow! I was only going to take a peek - and here I am 45 minutes later. I was hooked as soon as you read the first note- the same feeling as when I used to work with antique quilts - it’s like you begin to get such a sense of the woman behind it all. It was just like going through the sewing tin my grandmother left to me. She was the first person who taught me the magic of using a needle and thread and taught me to embroider and crochet starting at 5 years old. She put notes in everything too, and lived to be 93. I am 82 now so she must have been about the same vintage of your lady. It has made me think of whom I need to pass those things on to! Thanks for the journey!
Oh, Lordy! What a find! I'm thinking the lady sewed everything! The many black pins were to pin veils onto hats, the wooden tools were to sew gloves, the metal bars were sewn into the sides of braziers, the dainty elastic was for nylon panties, the elongated bobbins in the red sewing box (a necessary) are for a treadle sewing machine, but i can't remember which one (very hard to find) those white button-like medallions were used on hats as the centerpiece of a spray of anything from silk flowers, feathers, etc, and the medallion would be stitchedover the stems, glue, and pretty up the center. My great grandmother and grandmother were both miliners, and sewed everything!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the Milliners tools. I knew about a lot of the other items since I started sewing with Grandma about 60 years ago. She had lots of boxes of odds and sods, all sewing related. Absolute treasures, each and every piece.
That box was fated to be yours, as you are the perfect custodian for all the treasures inside! I think people have already told you what some of the items are: thin metal strips are stays; the stabby thing is a stiletto; the small, egg shaped items are for mending gloves; the funnel shaped object for creating bias tape; the ribbon threader called a bodkin, etc. So much to look at, sort, and figure out what and how to display for “hours of fun” as they used to say about some vintage games! Lucky you!
My Dear Tarnished Treasures what an amazing box full of beautiful pieces !! Those “long metallic sticks “ are part of the corset structure, inserted into the small channels of the fabric, to keep the structure tight and lift up the bust. I remember to see my aunties removing them to wash the fabric (1950/60’s) wow!😊
@@TarnishedTreasures1 @ Also those “wires” had different lengths, depends on what part of the body structure (of the corset) was used, the smaller ones were placed under the cups, the medium in the center of the chest, and the longer ones by the ribs, back and sides, and there were also some kind of elastic underwear using the same idea on the front ( the belly section), just because women wanted to look skinny and attractive, and I wondered how they could breathe!!!
I felt I was there with you opening every keepsake of this wonderful woman's stitch in time. I just loved the way you were so careful with this woman's treasures. I just loved it!!
Those metal objects with the curved edges are used for making rag rugs. Pull strips of rags(old sheets, curtains, skirts etc from the rag bag) through it. It will turn under the raw edges. Braid strips and then sew the strips together to make a round or oval rag rug. Im 77 and i remember watching my mother make rag rugs.
42 minutes 35 seconds and now I can breathe! What a treasure trove of a beautiful lifetime of creative artistry. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Wow! Those metal things that you weren’t sure about are seam binding makers.. you thread the strip of fabric through it and it gets folded. You iron it as it comes out. What a fabulous find. I’m glad all those wonderful things found a good home.
OH MY GOOOOOODNESSS!!!! I watched every thing and backed up a couple times!!!! You did get some precious long forgotten treasures! Ladies certainly did some fine and delicate hand work years ago and kept things " just in case" it might be needed again. Way before polyester!!!! Oh yes a glass cabinet so you can see it often!!! Loved this!!!
I'm loving watching you unpack these goodies. I bought a antique "Martha Washington sewing cabinet" at a estate sale. The drawers were full of all vintage sewing goodies. It felt like Christmas! Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
This is a fabulous haul for anyone who loves old sewing things ! Toward the bottom of the box, my heart skipped a beat when you brought out the Cash’s name tapes! I have a few exactly the same letter font, also red thread, left from an order my mother bought in about 1960 and sewed into all my school clothes. Cash was an English firm whose products were extremely popular wherever people wore uniforms. Various fonts and colours of labels were available, my sister had similar ones with bright blue letters. Such memories!
Hello from England! I just want to let you know that Cash still produce name tapes. Nowadays they also offer other specialised items - I have some saying ‘Handmade with Love by Kathy’. What a fabulous find this box is!
wow! the items kept getting better and better. towards the end i was truly holding my breath as you found the mourning pins and then the hair jewelry and as you opened the little red sewing kit. this truly is... like you said... a time capsule of history. so glad it is now in your hands to cherish!
A big Thank you for sharing your secret box with us. OMG the treasures it held and I'm grateful that it didn't get tossed away. Myself a sewer for over 70 years from all of this amazing. One of my favored was the Pin Block, I've never seen anything like that before and yes, I did watch the whole video. You found a TREASURE!
Oh my goodness - such wonderful treasures - so much history of days where dressmaking was such an art. Knowing you - you will treasure each and every item.
I love mystery boxes. Some of my favorite finds have come from seeing a couple of fun things on top of a box at an estate sale and buying the whole box unseen.
Every item is mesmerizing, such amazing kept notions of life before ready to wear clothing, mending, keeping every scrap, button, pin as all were hard to come by, no fast fashion silk, linen, rayon brass pins all of it. When I was very young in the 1950's my grandmother's mother and aunt kept every bit just as your Anna Fogg did. Love love love
I can not believe, you found, in PRISTINE clean condition, that beautiful box of Mourning Pins. Even I had a hard time breathing when I saw it. And the hair. Feel kinda bad she wasn’t able to finish it, but I’ve always wanted to learn the techniques of how it’s done. And the 3 pins? Not sure but they almost had the look of old squared hand forged nails. If those pins were made by hand, I would be absolutely stoked. Amazing box, beautiful old labels... Still can’t believe how clean everything was.
There was a hairdresser in Kansas City, MO that collected mourning jewelry and especially Hair Jewelry. She tried to keep a museum of them, but that was in the '90s.Wish I knew what happened to it.
Great video! Your excitement was infectious, I collect old sewing things as well. I’m sure my daughter won’t be happy when she has to get rid of it,so I’m going to downsize this summer. I have 3 old sewing baskets filled with things and I would love to pass them on to someone who can enjoy them…
an OMG escaped my mouth seeing the mourning pins and then you pulled out the hair jewelry - be still my heart! to say you scored with this treasure box is a gross understatement - jealous in WA but thrilled for you (nwpaintedlady)
This was so much fun!! Watching the snow fall in southern Illinois and enjoying your discoveries! It’s like the woman who wrote those tiny notes knew you would appreciate them and her treasures❤!😅
I recognize Richard Hudnut on the compact refill, even the box is a collector item,I remember magazine ads for them in the 1950’s. Imagine all the love and care the seamstress had for her treasures.
I have accumulated many similar items from auctions. Happy there are others who enjoy these treasures. Have a box of pins called bank pins. Found several silver thimbles and many with advertising. Still have searching
What a treasure! Everything was beyond amazing! But the thing that made me giggle was the paper clipping explaining what O.N.T. stands for!! ("Our New Thread")!!! 😄
Oh, I've done this many times at yard sales and flea markets!! You got great stuff. My best find was smelling salts, the little ampules that you'd break open. I thought about the poor ladies sitting and sewing in their stays...never comfortable and suddenly fainty 😢
What a fun,beautiful find. You are one lucky person to have even found such a treasure. Thank you for sharing it with us. I was practically drooling all the while you were pulling it all out. You sure got your money’s worth!!!Lil
I can't believe the ammount of treasures you got in that box but it came to the right person to appreciate it all I used to collect, buy and sell needlework items years ago and now at 78 I only have items I didn't want to part with but I was drooling over some of your pieces ! I also remember having a magnetic fishing game as a child which had the metal fish in it . I really enjoyed going through this with you and sharing your excitement 😊❤
In the red silk box, I believe the golden needle thing is called a bodkin. For pulling a ribbon, elastic or cord through a channel. Think of a string on a hoodie.
Here I am at home trying to declutter and pick out things to donate while you add to your collections! I am feeling so suffocated by possessions even as I love them.
@@TarnishedTreasures1 to see those old things, I just love it. I love when people conserve these things,it's so important to me. I'm so nostalgic these past few years, longing for the old days. History means more to me now than ever. So glad I was born early enough to still understand this. ♡
I love old things and am very nostalgic. I often wonder who owned this, how did they use it and who lived in that old house. I did a little google search. That NJ Bell envelope belonged to Anna Ware Bell, Salem NJ and the initial tag WHF for a men's coat belonged to her husband William Harrison Fogg. Enjoy your find.
Wow is all I can say! What a fabulous treasure box of vintage sewing notions, these beautiful things are a pleasure to collect and look at and wonder about the people who used these everyday items! Please do more unboxing videos, so much fun to watch! Thank you for taking your time and sharing this! 👍🏻🕊️
The red silk box with sewing notions is called a Necessary! You would keep it handy in an apron pocket! Since it appears hardly used , it was probably a kerpsake from a relative ❤🎉
Lots of stuff for ladies hat making, and dainty things. The rings are for making pom-poms. The double-ended wooden things are darning eggs--notice the worn spots where needles have been? Metal dip sticks are "stays" for either collars or corsets. Lippincott: The Publisher. The wooden cherubs: one of the crafts Victorians used to do was cutting jigsaw patterns, sometimes given as gifts. @41:28 is box of tatted lace, perhaps of linen thread made using a tatting shuttle. Fun!
TS 31:25 The large black pin, which you found another one later could be from the Viking period. They are handmade and this time period had this size of pins. I watch a couple Mudlarkers that search the banks on low tide of The River Thames in England. This size of pins, is found and this is where I learnt about them. It could be?!!lol There are other crude pins by the thousands they find, hand made too, but they get excited over this size of pins every time! What an amazing box of goods you bought! So jealous! I’m am going to recreate a couple items. The pin cube and the red silk box sewing kit! Thanks for sharing your haul! ❤🇨🇦
Corinna what a wonderful box of treasures. I love the Halloween clicker, the spools, the thimbles and the square pin holder with all those wonderful pins. The mourning pin box is amazing🖤 and so is the silk sewing kit. What fun to see it all. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Wow - I Love Your Channel !! I have only been watching for a couple of weeks. Thankyou for Your Love of Old Treasures. I look forward to your next video. ❤️
You must be very close to 17K now and look at the number of comments on this video. You are rocking it Corinna! 💫 What a treasure box you bought! I am thrilled for you.
Thank you so much for sharing this treasure box. If it were me with this box, I would be torn between keeping it all in a glass case and preserving it or trying to use some of these things to honor their intended purpose.
This is box is fabulous! I have watched box opening of everything from jewelry to old tools and this hands down the best! I love how you show and read everything nice job.
I found and bought a sears kenmore mini iron with a cloth cord at a vintage store. I was/am so excited to have it. I wish I could find out how old it is. It works very well. Heated up in Seconds. I can only imagine your excitement. Love it! You certainly have a treasure! You need to make a display for the spools.
Your excitement in this video definitely was contagious! How can I tell? I can tell by all the many wonderful comments you have received on this one video!
As someone else said you are the perfect recipient for this treasure. I recognized many of the items that were in my mother’s sewing box, I believe some of the wood container held pencil leads for propelling pencils these were often repurposed by our thrifty mothers to hold sewing needles. What a fascinating vlog kudos to you
Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed watching you open the time capsule. I wonder what the lady was making ? My year of birth was 1953 that’s definitely an antique. New to your channel this is the first video I watched. I just subscribed so that I can continue watching your videos. Thanks again.😊
What a great box! Such wonderful treasures! I remember some of the items. The clicker from Japan was one of the toys I remember my gramps having. The threads are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I remember that Denison made things like the glue backed stars in all colors you got for doing a good job and other things you could get in a stationery shop. Like the round reinforcements for the holes in notebook paper. Also maybe corners for mounting snapshots.
Unbelievable!!! ❤❤❤ Mourning jewelry is very creepy to me! The red silk sewing kit is incredibly beautiful! The strawberry blows my mind!!!! You need to make a calendar, or a magazine of your treasures!!!!!
Three of the items you didn't know what they were - First one at 11:22 The little silk triangular box, this was used as a box to keep tatting shuttles inside. Being a shuttle tatter myself, I was surprised to see that. Second one at 25:55 is a metal seam binder maker. The third item at 40:54 is a bodkin used to pull cording or ribbon through a stitched piece. What a great box of finds you have there. Lucky you.
I think the beautiful leather envelope was for calling cards, those would be left at someone’s home you had visited, or left on the porch if friend was not home. A treasure box for sure.
I have a few different cases and cards.
I am so jealous, what a treasure box! I just came here to say that I feel so vindicated, seeing a collection like this and hearing your reactions.

Hi Corinna, those wooden Things you didn’t know look like they are made for mending the fingers of gloves. Like you would use for mending socks except those are bigger. But wow love to find a mystery box like that too. Wonderful!!!
Gloves!! Makes sense
Ahhh Finger menders for gloves, I was wondering also
They look like darning tools for gloves.

PS - I started machine sewing on a treadle Singer sewing machine that had long thin bobbins like those.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! It is truly amazing how things connect us to our ancestors.
Wow!

OMG 45 minutes of heaven!
I agree!!
It’s so sweet how the prior owner kept everything so neat and organized. ❤❤❤
It’s almost like it was waiting for me! ♥️

A real life treasure chest! Someone loved this box very much. You can tell by all the sweet notes.
It really is a treasure chest! ❤
That was the most amazing box of goodies I've ever seen.
So happy to hear that! I agree ♥️♥️
an OMG escaped my mouth seeing the mourning pins and then you pulled out the hair jewelry - be still my heart! to say you scored with this treasure box is a gross understatement - jealous in WA but thrilled for you (nwpaintedlady)
I was OMG’ing the entire time!
It’s almost like someone cleaned out the old shop of a tailor or dressmaker. Amazing. I do like silk thread for buttons because it’s extremely strong.
It was all in a wood locked box. I just bought the stuff in the box. I wonder how long that box was sitting there unused?
I was wondering if the owner of this box might have made corsets and/or hats.
This was so much fun!! Watching the snow fall in southern Illinois and enjoying your discoveries! It’s like the woman who wrote those tiny notes knew you would appreciate them and her treasures❤!😅
She definitely did! ♥️♥️
I recognize Richard Hudnut on the compact refill, even the box is a collector item,I remember magazine ads for them in the 1950’s. Imagine all the love and care the seamstress had for her treasures.
♥️❤️
That halloween clicker probably paid for your mystery box ❤❤
Love that clicker... there's no hope for me, every little oddity appeals to me.
The little red box with the glass lid would make a great shadow box. The pin cube is amazing!
Oh yes to the red box!
I have accumulated many similar items from auctions. Happy there are others who enjoy these treasures. Have a box of pins called bank pins. Found several silver thimbles and many with advertising. Still have searching
Great finds!
What a treasure! Everything was beyond amazing! But the thing that made me giggle was the paper clipping explaining what O.N.T. stands for!! ("Our New Thread")!!! 😄
I see that abbreviation a lot so it’s nice to know what it means now.
That’s a bodkin for pulling ribbon through a piece.. lovely piece!
Great. Thank you!
Oh, I've done this many times at yard sales and flea markets!! You got great stuff. My best find was smelling salts, the little ampules that you'd break open. I thought about the poor ladies sitting and sewing in their stays...never comfortable and suddenly fainty 😢
Smelling salts! How cool!
We would have a small compact jar of smelling saltswhen we went to church in the summer in NJ.
What a fun,beautiful find. You are one lucky person to have even found such a treasure. Thank you for sharing it with us. I was practically drooling all the while you were pulling it all out. You sure got your money’s worth!!!Lil
I agree it’s a treasure!
I can't believe the ammount of treasures you got in that box but it came to the right person to appreciate it all I used to collect, buy and sell needlework items years ago and now at 78 I only have items I didn't want to part with but I was drooling over some of your pieces ! I also remember having a magnetic fishing game as a child which had the metal fish in it . I really enjoyed going through this with you and sharing your excitement 😊❤
The game my friend gave me did have metal pieces on the fish. It looks like these are missing them.
In the red silk box, I believe the golden needle thing is called a bodkin. For pulling a ribbon, elastic or cord through a channel. Think of a string on a hoodie.
Here I am at home trying to declutter and pick out things to donate while you add to your collections! I am feeling so suffocated by possessions even as I love them.
Thrifting is a cycle. Add to your collections and then pass things along.
This unintentional treasure trove is fascinating! The most precious pieces are those hand written notes! This video was a delight!

Keep on!! ❤❤❤
Absolutely wonderful,and the time just went by so quickly! Hello from England x
Hello! I watched it again, lol. It was so much fun to find it all.
Interesting how old some of these sewing notions can be. Women weren't wasteful, they saved everything for years, apparently. 👍💕
Down to the smallest scrap!
I love old things and am very nostalgic. I often wonder who owned this, how did they use it and who lived in that old house.
I did a little google search.
That NJ Bell envelope belonged to Anna Ware Bell, Salem NJ and the initial tag WHF for a men's coat belonged to her husband William Harrison Fogg.
Enjoy your find.
Thank you for the research!
So many treasures,everything was so interesting❤Thank you for showing us!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful treasures you have found in your box, I recognised a few items but have never seen mourning items. Thank you for sharing this all with us x

Me too
Whoever owned those items were definitely your love of miniatures soul mate. All the treasures kept in boxes.
Wow....so excited for you !
I agree!!!
The red silk box with sewing notions is called a Necessary! You would keep it handy in an apron pocket! Since it appears hardly used , it was probably a kerpsake from a relative ❤🎉
That is so cool! I never knew that!
Treasure upon treasure! How exciting!
I know! It was an hour of so much fun!
Metal cone like things are for making bias tape. Put in fabric strip and pull thru and iron down as you go. Strawberry for sharpening needles.
Wow! Thanks for the info!
My oldest pin cushion (circa 1960ish) was in the shape of a tomato and had a strawberry attached which was used to sharpen needles.
Thank you for sharing this! So much fun discovering the treasures with you!
You are so welcome! ❤
Lots of stuff for ladies hat making, and dainty things. The rings are for making pom-poms. The double-ended wooden things are darning eggs--notice the worn spots where needles have been? Metal dip sticks are "stays" for either collars or corsets. Lippincott: The Publisher. The wooden cherubs: one of the crafts Victorians used to do was cutting jigsaw patterns, sometimes given as gifts. @41:28 is box of tatted lace, perhaps of linen thread made using a tatting shuttle. Fun!
❤️❤️
Love how respectful you are of the items.
Thank you

The large black pin, which you found another one later could be from the Viking period. They are handmade and this time period had this size of pins.
I watch a couple Mudlarkers that search the banks on low tide of The River Thames in England. This size of pins, is found and this is where I learnt about them. It could be?!!lol
There are other crude pins by the thousands they find, hand made too, but they get excited over this size of pins every time!
What an amazing box of goods you bought! So jealous!
I’m am going to recreate a couple items. The pin cube and the red silk box sewing kit!
Thanks for sharing your haul! ❤🇨🇦
I want to make a sewing kit like that too.
Corinna what a wonderful box of treasures. I love the Halloween clicker, the spools, the thimbles and the square pin holder with all those wonderful pins. The mourning pin box is amazing🖤 and so is the silk sewing kit. What fun to see it all. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️
It's like a treasure chest! ❤️❤️❤️
Treasure! It amazes me how they document who gave them things likes pins or where they purchased items.
I know, it’s fascinating!
OMG HEAVEN!!! Such fun watching that video. Did not seem too long, I was wishing there was more to discover with you. TFS. ☮️💜 from Wi.
I want more now too!! Ha!
Wow - I Love Your Channel !! I have only been watching for a couple of weeks. Thankyou for Your Love of Old Treasures. I look forward to your next video. ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️
Lots of sewing notions& needles.. wow! Such luck !
I still get to look through the needle box too! I’m prolonging the fun.
Wonderful to see all these items. I could see some items in a shadow box.
That would be lovely!
You must be very close to 17K now and look at the number of comments on this video. You are rocking it Corinna! 💫 What a treasure box you bought! I am thrilled for you.
25 away! It came so quickly! Time for the next give away!
I LOVE those little fish.
So cool! And I collage with fish all the time!
This was so much fun to watch!
Thank you!
@@TarnishedTreasures1 I'm so glad I found you!

Thank you so much for sharing this treasure box. If it were me with this box, I would be torn between keeping it all in a glass case and preserving it or trying to use some of these things to honor their intended purpose.
I put some in my bird cage and I’m on the hunt for another curio cabinet.
you will definite enjoy all of these treasures!❤
I sure am! I have a feeling this box will give me years of joy.
The metal cone is a bias maker ...feed in a strip of fabric and it auto folds the edges in. The tape can also be used to make rugs .❤
Thanks for the info!
I just found your channel. I’m so glad these treasures came to you. Your appreciation of this woman’s sewing treasures touched my heart!
It makes me so happy that you enjoyed it!
This is box is fabulous! I have watched box opening of everything from jewelry to old tools and this hands down the best! I love how you show and read everything nice job.
Well thank you! I love savoring it and taking in all the details!
I found and bought a sears kenmore mini iron with a cloth cord at a vintage store. I was/am so excited to have it. I wish I could find out how old it is. It works very well. Heated up in Seconds. I can only imagine your excitement. Love it! You certainly have a treasure! You need to make a display for the spools.
Awesome find! I’m glad it works. I have a wood display stand for spools, I just need more space to display it.
Your excitement in this video definitely was contagious!
How can I tell? I can tell by all the many wonderful comments you have received on this one video!
♥️
The flat piece is a stay. I made a strapless dress with those in it to stiffen it so it wouldn’t fall down. What a fun box!
I love learning about all the different sewing notions!
As someone else said you are the perfect recipient for this treasure. I recognized many of the items that were in my mother’s sewing box, I believe some of the wood container held pencil leads for propelling pencils these were often repurposed by our thrifty mothers to hold sewing needles. What a fascinating vlog kudos to you
♥️♥️
What a great box of goodies.
I agree ♥️
Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed watching you open the time capsule. I wonder what the lady was making ? My year of birth was 1953 that’s definitely an antique. New to your channel this is the first video I watched. I just subscribed so that I can continue watching your videos. Thanks again.😊
Welcome to the channel! I’m glad you are here
What a great box! Such wonderful treasures! I remember some of the items. The clicker from Japan was one of the toys I remember my gramps having. The threads are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
So cool!
I remember that Denison made things like the glue backed stars in all colors you got for doing a good job and other things you could get in a stationery shop. Like the round reinforcements for the holes in notebook paper. Also maybe corners for mounting snapshots.
I am old enough to remember the Denison products.
I love finding them!
This was one of the most exciting videos I have watched ever! The anticipation was killing me!
That’s awesome!!
That metal tip looking thing was used to feed your fabric strips thru when braiding a rug. Great treasures.
That's really interesting!
Unbelievable!!! ❤❤❤ Mourning jewelry is very creepy to me! The red silk sewing kit is incredibly beautiful! The strawberry blows my mind!!!! You need to make a calendar, or a magazine of your treasures!!!!!
Cool idea!
I had a box like that from my mother in law! Great treasures!
It’s so fun to discover what’s inside those boxes!
Awesome! I would love to purchase one of those. Love treasure boxes and bags. Can you share where you purchased it? Thanks
It was a marketplace find.
@@TarnishedTreasures1 That was such a great find. Thanks for responding.
wow and wow...fantastic box!!!!!
I was so excited to open it up!
what a find! You were truly blessed to "find" this box of treasures.
It was a really fun box to open!
Looks amazing! I would love to go through that box!!! I'm excited!!!❤❤❤❤
I was too!
Three of the items you didn't know what they were - First one at 11:22 The little silk triangular box, this was used as a box to keep tatting shuttles inside. Being a shuttle tatter myself, I was surprised to see that. Second one at 25:55 is a metal seam binder maker. The third item at 40:54 is a bodkin used to pull cording or ribbon through a stitched piece. What a great box of finds you have there. Lucky you.
Thank you for the information on the sewing tools
You hit the jackpot!!! Such lovely “old” things!!!! I’d be over the moon too. So h😊ppy for you!!!
It was such a fun box to open!
@ I had fun just watching you!! So many neat things!!
