Original wooden needle case, fold-out sewing table of the UNION brand, marked with a preserved metal manufacturer plaque.

The piece dates from the 1950s and was manufactured in Germany by the company Sinram & Wendt, whose products carried the UNION mark.

The UNION brand was the company’s trademark and appeared on its original products.
