DUTCH SHOE PINCUSHION & THIMBLE HOLDER #2, Vintage Sewing Item, Carved Wood

Description

Vintage SEWING ITEM -- DUTCH SHOE PINCUSHION & THIMBLE HOLDER -- was likely produced in the early to middle part of the 1900s -- possibly between the 1930s and 1950s. This wooden piece measures approximately 8 inches long and 3.75 inches wide. The piece is carved into the shape of a wooden Dutch shoe, mounted on a wooden platform/base. There is a pin cushion embedded on the top, plus a hole in the surface -- to hold a thimble. There is a scene carved into the toe area, picturing a Dutch girl and a windmill in the background. The piece comes with an antique metal thimble, I'm not sure if it is silver or another metal. It is all original, as far as I can see. Please refer to the attached images for more information on size, construction, and condition. Overall condition: Solid VG..... The sewing item has general signs of light use and handling expected for its age, including: minor surface wear, soiling, fading, and a few minor dings. However, there are no serious flaws, and this item will display very well. ***************************************** PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT an expert on vintage sewing items. My mom -- Nancy Moran -- was a longtime collector and she especially loved sewing memorabilia and antique buttons. She is downsizing, so my brother and I am helping her sell some of her collections. (You can find the items my brother is listing at sellmomsstuff1). But I am not completely familiar with all the terminology and intricacies of her collecting specialties. I try to use various notes she left with items to describe them to the best of my ability, but understand that any terms I use in describing these items, may not be terms I am familiar or experience with. So please use the attached images to form your own opinions. I am also not knowledgeable on the hobby criteria in condition grading -- so I use my condition grades in a commonsense manner -- as if grading any collectible -- they are not based on any specific hobby standards. Please contact me if you have specific questions, and I will answer them as best I can. PLEASE SEE OUR OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE WONDERFUL VINTAGE SEWING ITEMS, ANTIQUE BUTTONS, AND OTHER COLLECTIBLES.
