Antique Leather Case w/ Scissors, Stiletto & Bodkin English * Circa 1900 This little set came from
England so I'm going to assume it's English. The leather
case holds petite steel embroidery scissors with engraved leaf designs on
the shanks. The outer pocket holds a pretty turned steel stiletto and a
steel bodkin.
The scissors are 3 1/4" long, have tight blades and cut very well. The awl is 2 3/8" long and the bodkin is 2 3/4" long. They are in great condition with no rust or damage. The case is also in excellent condition with no tears and the leather is nice and supple. It measures 3 3/4" high x 1 7/8" wide and closes with a snap.
