Description

Vintage SEWING ITEM -- BIRD SHAPED SEWING STAND -- was likely produced in the middle part of the 1900s -- possibly between the 1940s and 1950s. This wooden piece measures approximately 8 inches long, 5.5 inches wide and 5.5 inches tall. The piece has a carved shape of a bird, which is mounted at the center. On the wooden platform/base there are 4 dowels along the sides which hold spools of thread, a larger dowel at the front that holds a thimble, plus a hole in the top of the bird's head that holds a pair of scissors. The piece comes with 4 early spools of thread, plus metal scissors and thimble. Please refer to the attached images for more information on size, construction, and condition. Overall condition: Solid VG..... The sewing item has light signs of use and handling expected for its age, including: minor surface wear and a few minor dings. However, there are no serious flaws, and this item will display very well. ***************************************** PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT an expert on vintage sewing items. My mom -- Nancy Moran -- was a longtime collector and she especially loved sewing memorabilia and antique buttons. She is downsizing, so my brother and I am helping her sell some of her collections. (You can find the items my brother is listing at sellmomsstuff1). But I am not completely familiar with all the terminology and intricacies of her collecting specialties. I try to use various notes she left with items to describe them to the best of my ability, but understand that any terms I use in describing these items, may not be terms I am familiar or experience with. So please use the attached images to form your own opinions. I am also not knowledgeable on the hobby criteria in condition grading -- so I use my condition grades in a commonsense manner -- as if grading any collectible -- they are not based on any specific hobby standards. Please contact me if you have specific questions, and I will answer them as best I can. PLEASE SEE OUR OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE WONDERFUL VINTAGE SEWING ITEMS, ANTIQUE BUTTONS, AND OTHER COLLECTIBLES.
