Description from the seller

Filled vintage wooden sewing chest from the 1960s – harmonica-style}

Charming and practical wooden sewing chest from the 1960s, equipped with the characteristic fold-out harmonica system. A atmospheric household item from a time when sewing, mending and handicrafts had a fixed place in the home.

The chest is made from warm-colored wood and features multiple layers and separate compartments. Due to the hinged wooden arms, the compartments open stepwise to both sides. This creates an immediately clear workspace for thread, needles, pins, buttons and other notions.

The sturdy carrying handle makes the chest easy to move. The two top lids are fitted with small wooden knobs and close the ensemble neatly. The subtle brass-colored fittings form a beautiful detail against the warm wood tone.

This sewing chest is offered with an extensive vintage contents, including various types of:

* Sewing thread and embroidery thread
* Wool and darning thread
* Elastic and tape
* Buttons
* Measuring tape
* Pin cushion
* Needles and other notions
* Various older bobbins, cards and packaging

The contents originate from different periods and are delivered as visible in the photos. An attractive whole for collectors of old sewing supplies, but also immediately usable for sewing, embroidery, mending and other creative hobbies.
