How wonderful to find a treasure such as this. I wonder what the thread was used for as it is so thick. Thank you Carolyn for this post. Hugs Sarah.

Wonderful, wonderful treasures. Compare the 'sewing kit' with what we have today. That first needle looks like your grandma sewed her own hessian aprons for washing day, hessian slippers, repairs to carpets, maybe her own hessian floor mats and the list goes on. What tales that thimble could tell!

What a find.write down the story of these items with Grandmothers and Mothers name and keep it all together. This is a part of your family history and should be shared with the future generations.

Treasures are so much fun to find. That is really cool how it holds it all, Thanks

What a neat find. The needles are thick and looks like they were for leather or sewing shoes back together like Alma thought. Does that part with the light colored thread slid down into the other part? Got interested and this looks so similar to yours. http://www.collectiblejewels.com/westgermany.html

What a blast from the past... they are great little reminders of what was used, I agree with Castelyn frame them for your wall then you'll be reminded of your grandmother when they're looked apon...

It's so much fun to find these treasures. I have a tin of tatting thread, shuttles, and a few handkerchiefs that my grandmother made. And loads of notions such as needle packs for 10 cents or so.

It's amazing all the gadgets and helpers sewers have now compared to the past. We surely could not fit our modern sewing kits into one this small.

I have the exact same one. It had been my Grandmothers and my Mother gave it to me, too. I'm thinking it must be over 100 years old.

What a wonderful find. I have a box of my grandmothers. The best thing I had was my great grandmother's treadle sewing machine with the papers where it was purchased. My mother kept it for me and when she died, my father remarried. My stepmother put it outside and didn't tell us what she had done. The weather ruined it. Now I have room for it as we had a house built and moved from the mobile home, but no sewing machine.
