Maybe someone can identify this sewing item..vintage
 

I have had this in my collection of sewing things for a long time...they told me it was from WWII when I bought it, but not ever seeing one like it...I was wondering maybe someone on here could tell me from what era it came from..It has 2 spools of thread on the inside and the thimble is on top...Thanks

looks like a needle keeper

looks like it was made for the military.

Is there perhaps needle storage in the core of the thread spools - does that central thing come out and open up?

Yes it does...can't believe it...had it all this time and didn't realize that the needles might be in there...wow, now I really do have the whole sewing kit...who knew...

It is a sewing kit for soldiers in the field.

How lucky you are to have this ww2 relic.

I have know Idea! but what ever its is its very clever!

Thank you...I thought it might be WWll..that's what I was told at the time I got it...anyhow..its old...and I love old things..that has to do with sewing or quilting...

That is sew neat!
