<p>[QUOTE="caroln, post: 556151, member: 8677"]Here's some closer pics. A couple of the pieces do unscrew and I found a thimble in one of them. There's a silk tape measure that has threads on the bottom of the stick it's on. The long piece unscrews on both ends for some reason, and it does look the right size to store needles. I can't determine what they're made of. Not wood, but not plastic either. Some of the pieces are brittle and chipping. So, any idea on age of this sewing box?[ATTACH=full]170557[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]170558[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]170559[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]170560[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]170561[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
