Vintage Biscuit Tin Filled with Vintage Sewing Notions Buttons Thread Scissors

Description

I was absolutely not surprised to open this beautiful vintage biscuit tin and find that it was filled with old sewing notions! The tin also stores a nice assortment of vintage buttons along with a pair of forged steel scissors, pins, various types of thread, crochet hooks, thimbles and even some sparkly trim. The tin itself features a beautiful jewel and gold piping pattern against a pale yellow background.

I aim to please, and describe every item to the best of my ability. But please note that my vintage items often received frequent use back in their day, so may show visible signs of wear and age. Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way, as I treasure those marks of the past.
