Description
Lovely dusty pink needle book with gold painted flower on front and back. The edge where you pull out the needle book is a thin gold Dresden paper foil. It measures 2 and 6/8" high and just shy of 2" wide.The insert has a white painted flower in each side. Upon opening, the bright red flannel has tiny white single thread stitching on 3 sides. Then inside those "pages" is an ultra soft velvet with Friendship drawn on one side and 6 arrows on the other (presumably in ink). There are a few dark stains, likely from old rusted pins. For a piece this old, my feeling was 'who cares'!
I have displayed this gem since 2015 in my smoke-free home away from direct sunlight behind glass. I'll include my original paperwork. I paid 0.
Thanks for looking!
