Description

This thread holder is in mint condtion and holds all wooden spools of thread with the original pin cushion on the top. The brass pins are removed from the top to release the spools. It is quite unique and a heavy object. I have NEVER cleaned it since I know about removing patina, but it is lovely and I would love to know the value of it. Thank you.
