  Description
Found in an old warehouse - these fantastic boxes of DUREX Coloured Casein KNITTING PINS MADE IN ENGLAND are 28cm long and contain 12 pairs of brightly coloured
gauge 9, 10" needles, still with their DUREX labels on.
DUREX printed on the shaft too...
The reg. design no 445724 dates to 1904.
Casein, an early plastic made from milk protein was very popular in the early part of the 20th century -because it readily takes a surface dye, so brightly coloured items could
be quickly made from the original pale material.
It was popular for buttons, buckles, pens, dressing table items as well as for knitting pins
It makes lovely knitting needles - very flexible and warmer and much more comfortable than cold aluminium ones.
