- Marvelous early antique Sabbathday Lake Maine Shaker lidded sewing basket or box, made of poplar wood & silk. It has its original pin cushion, wax, needle book and small strawberry shaped needle emery.
- Each end of the basket has pink ribbons attached. The base is marked with the Sabbathday Lake Shakers Trademark Maine stamp! A wonderful piece of Shaker history!
- Size: basket measures about 6.25" × 6.5" " wide. It is about 2.5 " high.
- Condition: Basket shows staining and wear to the silk fabric from age and use as do the attached parts. The basketry itself is in quite good condition, though there is wear to bottom decorative edges.
I have not cleaned this item aside from a light dust
off. Light soiling, dust, old age toning, dents, paint loss and rust
could be present along with other minor wear consistent with age. Please
view all the photos as the are intended to be part of the description
and ask any questions you may have prior to bidding. I’m always willing
to take additional photos or answered detailed questions.
**Over
the next several months we will be listing many items fresh from a local
estate. Most will be run as auctions, so stay tuned for Sunday new
listings. If you are interested in an item bid early as people often
forget and miss out on items. I will not end listings early for any
reason so please do not ask. The volume of items is too many to list but
overall the areas covered are vintage toys, banks, games, advertising
related items, tins, dolls and other collectibles.***
