1880’s – 1910’s Mauchline Ware Needle Book

Measures:  4” x 2.5”

“The Basin” is featured on this needle book.  The needle book is in very good condition.  The binding is intact and the inside is lined with royal blue satin.  There are pin holes in the satin, as would be expected.  This needle book was put to good use! 

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.
