Antique French Sewing Etui, Ivory Case, .800/1000 Silver 18k Gold Vermeil Tools + Rococo rich deep dark chocolate colorSuch an elegant set, this! Expanded well beyond most, it includes a little pocket knife or folding blade for seam ripping, and also a mechanical pencil, along with the usual sewing items: scissors, needle case, thimble. There is an open spot for a bodkin (ribbon threading needle), which is all that is missing. The pieces do have the tiny boar's head French punch marks, guarantee of . 800 1000 pure silver, and the surface tests 18k gold (vermeil).
