The SS Cleveland was built in 1903 for the Hamburg-Amerika Line, This lifesaver shaped sewing pin cushion is an interesting piece of memorabilia made as a souvenir of the Cleveland, and an advertisement for a silk shop in Yokohama, Japan .It is 4" in diameter and only shows one little spot of wear on the silk.The name "Ella J. Sattler" and the date "1913" is penciled on the back. By the way, the U.S. eventually confiscated this ship from Germany as war reparations after WWI.

Delightful sewing make-do ca.1910.
Our ancestors were much thriftier than is the present custom. If something broke it was not automatically discarded - parts of the item were reused and readapted.
This needle and pin holder consists of a sweet faced German bisque glass eyed doll (marked 4473)which retains head,torso and arms but is missing its legs.
It is "dressed" in a 4 3/4" wide ribbon(7" long)on which is hand painted beautiful pansies and the words "There's a pin Sticking in the Baby". The holders inside are 3 pieces of fine flannel finished in a silk blanket stitch. Condition is excellent.
