Stencil Pianos Needle Case, Gold Eyed Sharps, Circa 1900s-1920s

Fold-out needle case holding a set of Gold Eyed Sharps sewing needles on a felt strip, doubling as advertising for a piano and sewing-machine dealer touting "we sell no cheap stencil pianos" and "established 1886" - these combination needle-case/advertising giveaways were a common promotional item for general merchandise dealers in the early 20th century. Dates to approximately 1900s-1920s. Needles present with pencil annotations on the card, typical of a working household item. Non-tobacco, grouped with general antiques.
