Satisfying Antique Velvet Pin Cushion, As Found wooden color blocks but plenty they could spell

but plenty they could spell out without them

1 5/8" across at lip and in excellent condition

The bone layer on these is very thick

With it's great design and substantial weight (this is just a terrific object to hold in your hand)

would be my guess

Satisfying Antique Velvet Pin Cushion, As Found wooden color blocks but plenty they could spellI look at a lot of pin cushions such perfect examples of the human compulsion to make even the smallest and simplest of utilitarian objects special and while this is not a fancy one, there is something about its roundness, and the gray tan velvet dyed (now very) pale blue at the very center of the top and bottom, and all of these pins stuck in it that make it, to my eye, quite a satisfying little thing. Sweet and lovely. 2 3 8" in diameter x 2 1 18" t
