Needle Case Value?
« on: January 03, 2016, 11:49:27 am »
Do little needle cases have any value? 
This was my grandmother's so thinking 1930's.  Possibly brass and says Germany.

My guess,, without any ornamentation or inscription would be about $10. !!

That's about right Mart!  When I had my shop we had some wooden ones with advertising on them that we got $8 a piece for.  Sure wish I had some of my grandmother's sewing notions.  I would make a shadowbox display with them.  I love sewing notions!  Your brass needle holder is adorable Pelady!
I should have been born in another era!

I differ on that a tad bit in that in my neck of the woods that would sell for $18 - $20 easy - even as plain as it is.  Seems the pricing on these are on the rise a tad bit.
