<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 345954, member: 5833&quot;]Well, looking at other antique ones, this is almost modest &amp; not overbuilt at all.&nbsp; Doe the cord/strap served to lift a velvet covered piece out of the case?&nbsp; Is it elastic (now dead) so that it could be worn on the wrist?&nbsp; This was meant to hold loose needles, not ones in packets; you ran them into the velvet to secure them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does the loose object fit into that bracket thing on the edge of lid?&nbsp; When open, is that the only position the hoop thing can be in or is it movable?&nbsp; I&#039;m not familiar enough with the needle arts to guess what function this part serves.&nbsp; Not quite right for a thread winder, which some have.&nbsp; I&#039;m very curious too.&nbsp; Hope a member comes along who knows.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
