Peek in the past (sewing box)
Here's some of the contents from a relative's sewing box I acquired this weekend. Anybody have a clue what the black item near the spools of thread was for? It's solid wood, has lots of marks (from pins?) where paint was scratched off. Also, long handled metal hooks?
There's several long, bamboo like sticks that I haven't got a clue about either. Curved needles are probably from upholstery projects. And, what about the vintage looking tiny curling iron looking thing? I'm confessing to total ignorance on a lot of this.
Didn't know thimbles came in so many sizes either. Also have three different colors of "darning thread." So soft. They didn't throw out socks in those days!
