Beautifully embossed goldtone sewing etui in a with original tassel. Ladies would have carried in their purse or pocket. Inside is a brass thimble and a plastic tube wrapped with 3 different colored threads (black, white, tan) which unscrews to reveal a stored safety pin and needles. It all fits together very well. Marked Austria and in excellent condition, the etui measures 2" long. We thought this would also make a fabulous pill box and could be put on a key chain, see last photo...

Beautiful hand carved Chinese cinnabar button. In excellent with the only lacquer loss on the backside, it measures 1.5" in diameter. Dates pre 1910.
