Description
Four antique wooden treadle sewing machine drawers with original metal knob pulls, dovetail construction, and aged patina that only decades of honest use can produce. The lot includes a hinged accessory box lined in deep burgundy velvet, likely original to the machine cabinet, with a maker's stamp visible on the lid. These long, narrow drawers are a beloved find for crafters and collectors alike, perfect for repurposing or display.
Two vintage glass mason jars packed to the brim with an eye-popping assortment of antique and mid-century buttons in every color, size, and material imaginable. The larger jar sports a classic Atlas zinc lid, while the smaller jar has a painted red metal cap. From mother-of-pearl to early plastic, this button haul is a treasure chest for sewists and button collectors.
A wonderfully quirky handmade wooden pelican pincushion and thread caddy, painted white with a green base and fitted with a dark burgundy fabric pincushion belly still bristling with straight pins and hat pins. A coiled wire spring sits atop the bird's head for needle or thimble storage, and a separate orange rotating thread spool carousel sits alongside. Vintage thread spools in navy, black, brown, and cream complete the display.
Two pairs of vintage metal sewing scissors in different sizes, both showing the honest wear of a well-used sewing room. One pair is a longer dressmaking style, the other a smaller snipping scissor, both with classic ring handles and steel blades that still look capable of doing the job.
