1880’s – 1910’s Mauchline Ware Pin Cushion

Measures:  2.25” X 1.75”

“The Wildmere, Minnewaska, N.Y.” is the photo featured on this shield-shaped pin cushion.  The royal blue velvet around the outside is in very good condition but does show wear in a couple of small areas.

Mauchline Ware is so named because it was produced in or near a small town called Mauchline in Scotland.  It is made of sycamore and often had transfer photos of popular tourist destinations.  It was produced from the mid 1800’s until 1933 when the last Mauchline Ware factory was destroyed by fire.
