    I've sold lots of these in many forms but can't find one like this. I've tried an image search along with descriptive searches and haven't come up with anything.

    I know it's a pincushion but was hoping to find some idea of value before listing.

    Thanks in advance!

    Don't know what it is but it says Tokyo in the bottom, so Japanese

    THat's a classic sewing tool. You clamp it to your table so the pincushion can't wander off. There are lots of them in one design or another. The oldest are all wooden and date back ...1700s somewhere if my memory isn't totally shot.
