Hello and Welcome !  Today, the listing is THIS WONDERFUL ANTIQUE, VICTORIAN W AVERY & SON, BRASS QUADRUPLE GOLDEN CASKET NEEDLE HOLDER. IT IS BEAUTIFULLY EMBOSSED IN WITH A BUTTERFLY ON A LEAF, ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CASE ALONG WITH WONDERFUL ETCHING DETAIL THROUGHOUT THE PIECE.  THE SLIDE BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM, WHEN MOVED FROM SIDE TO SIDE, REVEALS FOUR INNER BRASS SLEEVES THAT WILL EMERGE TO HOLD NEEDLES.  THE INNER SLEEVES MOVE FREELY. THERE ARE NO NEEDLES IN THESE.  IT IS IN WONDERFUL ANTIQUE CONDITION WITH ONLY NORMAL AGE RELATED WEAR TO THE BRASS.  THIS IS ANOTHER WINNER FROM W AVERY & SON AND STILL DESIRED AMONG SEWING COLLECTORS.  PLEASE SEE ALL PICTURES TO APPRECIATE THE DESIGN AND CONDITION. 

 IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE BRINGING YOU GREAT TREASURES THAT I HAVE FOUND EITHER IN AUCTIONS OR PRIVATE ESTATES. BECAUSE MOST OF MY ITEMS ARE OVER 100 YEARS OLD, EXPECT TO SEE SOME AGE-RELATED WEAR OR A LITTLE IMPERFECTION HERE AND THERE ESPECIALLY ON LACE OR FABRIC.  NOTHING MORE THAN YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE AND ACTUALLY WANT TO SEE TO CONFIRM AGE.  SOMETIMES WHAT I MIGHT THINK IS NOTHING, YOU MAY NOT AGREE. MY ITEMS MAY BE A LITTLE ECLECTIC BUT THEY HAVE A SPECIAL MEANING AND BRING ME JOY AND I HOPE THEY WILL YOU ALSO. SO, PLEASE LOOK AT ALL THE PICTURES AND USE THE MAGNIFICATION TO REALLY SEE AND APPRECIATE THE CONDITION AND HOW WONDERFUL IT TRULY IS.  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VISITING AND I AM HONORED THAT YOU HAVE LOOKED AT ONE OF MY ITEMS.  THAT'S ALL FOR NOW....MARY
