    I love the old stuff and imagine the people that might have used it. I'm a romantic with a vivid imagination. Good find:-)

    I agree, it looks from the 70's.

    My Mom used to carry one of those kits in her purse back in the 70's. It was handy if you lost a button or had a rip in your clothing.
