DESCRIPTION:

This is a bone and steel sewing set in a fitted faux leather case. The box is of good quality and has a rectangular shape although worn around the edges.  I believe it dates to the 1920s. There is a small brass catch.

The interior also looks lovely with a red silk lining to the lid. It is altogether a charming little set.

There are various bone handled tools, as seen, as well as some steel tools, including scissors, which are sharp and working well.
