U.N.C.L.E. Thrush and Boye???
 

I was watching "The man from UNCLE" DVDs last night. In one episode the Thrush operatives were about to open their safe. they opened a cabinet and recessed into it was a huge disc.. Looked familiar.

Yep, they opened a slide and gave the inside a spin. It was a Boye, needle and shuttle sales case.

Where eise could I share this? hehe

Bet not many people would have a clue what they were seeing!

Just so no one else has to look this up - http://needlebar.org/main/boye/index.html

Wow! That is really interesting history. Thanks Leonf and Dunster. I do have a few of the wooden needle holders but never saw that case. It is not even 7 am and I already learned something new for today!

I have a couple of those wooden needle cases in my sewing room.

Thanks, Dunster for the interesting information. That was a lot of History!

I"m thinking of the original The Man from UNCLE with David McCallum from NCIS! long ago! cute thing you caught. quick eyes!

yep, the original. Thanks Dunster I had no idea about all the variations. In my small town there was such a case at the hardware store.
