This listing has a vintage needle threader in new, unused condition in the original box!
This is the red and white plastic model needle threader -- my grandmother always had one in her sewing basket and used it every week on her "mending" day.
The box has printed on back: "Made in Western Germany, German and Foreign Patents". The box is a little worn from use and storage.
This item is not only collectible but is very useful...

This listing has a super neat vintage item -- it's Enesco’s Betsy Ross pin cushion/tape measure from the Kitchen Independence line!
She measures 4 ¾” tall and is in very good condition – she has a teeny ding (fleck) on the back of her chair and the tape measure has sprung. It could probably be replaced with a small round tape measure because it just sets inside the figurine – not attached but held in place with a couple small pieces of newspaper (original to item)...

Lovely pattern on this feed sack – it’s a white background with little squares of pretty brown/tan checks that alternate with colorful flowers of yellow with brown leaves and purple and tan flowers with green leaves. Unusual!
This sack is a little smaller than others we have listed. It measures 33” long, 20” wide (approximately 40” when seam stitching is removed). It has not been cut or altered in any way, it’s just not as long as the other feed sacks...

We have listed many lovely and unusual feed sacks but this one is by far the most unusual! It has a purple/lilac color background and the design is alphabet letters U, V, W, X, Y, and Z!!
Interspersed throughout the feed sack are the letters V and X – they are white letters outlined in black and are interspersed with pretty white flowers with yellow centers.
The letters U, W, Y, and Z are yellow inside white squares and show an animal for those letters – “U is for Uni...

This is a colorful feed sack – red, pink, and white with blue fruit – and is from the same Indiana estate sale as the other feed sacks we’ve listed!
This one was not properly opened – it appears as though the thread was cut or torn instead of being pulled/unraveled causing the material to have a somewhat jagged top edge. Because of this, the sack measures 33” in length.
Side and bottom seam have not been removed/opened...

This feed sack is very colorful with a pretty pattern!
Feed sack has been incorrectly opened – I’m not certain how it occurred but it has an almost diagonal type seam/opening resulting in a “non-square”. It measures 47 ½” long and 38” wide but remember it’s not even/square.
Do not be deterred – this is a very pretty piece of vintage fabric...

Doesn’t this feed sack have an unusual pattern? It has a white background that’s almost completely covered with little blue diamonds, beige squares, and lime green color rectangles. Feed sack has been opened and measures 37” x 46”. Laundered, pressed, and in wonderful condition – I noticed a few stretched holes from the original heavy thread at top closure -- that's it! Nice!
Lovely and unusual pattern on this vintage feed sack!
It has a white background with a pattern of green clovers and blue flowers – very pretty.
Feed sack has been opened and measures approximately 37” x 42”.
It has been laundered, lightly starched and ironed (by me), and is from a smoke free environment.
Feed sack is in wonderful condition with a couple small holes/snags, minimal fabric loss...

I’ve grouped these two sewing items into one listing -- there’s a neat vintage tatting shuttle and a vintage thimble!
The shuttle is green plastic and was made by “The Boye Needle Co, Chicago”. It’s in very good condition with some places that appear to have been caused by a hot needle – probably by someone (not me!) checking to see if it was Bakelite -- it’s not.
The thimble is stamped “10, Germany”...

These are neat vintage patterns -- there are two Simplicity patterns and one Butterick!
The Butterick pattern is size 16 (bust 36), one Simplicity pattern is also size 16 and the other is size 16 ½ (Half-size Slenderette)!
They have been used/cut but carefully handled, folded and stored in original envelope.
Thank you for visiting Lin's Antiques at Cyberattic!
Shipping for these patterns is via insured first class mail; cost will show when you add item to your shop...
