Antique
Carved Bone Tape Measure / Pincushion / Thimble Case Combo
English * Circa 1840 This figural antique piece is in the form of a castle turret and combines a tape measure, pincushion and thimble case. It is carved of bone* with pierced window designs and features a dark green velvet pincushion at the bottom . The tape measure is at the top and is a silk ribbon (unmarked). The top turns to rewind the tape and it works well. The tape unscrews and below that is a compartment holding a carved bone thimble. The thimble is about a child's size 6 (14 mm diameter opening). It has a couple of fine rim cracks but is sturdy with no other damage. The castle is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or other damage and it sits on three little ball feet. The cushion is intact and original though missing a little of the velvet nap. It measures 4" high and about 1 3/4" in diameter. *This item is made of bone from a domestic cow (bovine) and not from an endangered species.
