| This Civil War period glazed leather sewing "roll" is actually rectangular in shape . It is brown leather and lighter brown fabric binding. Lined in red silk, while it is worn, is amazingly all there(most wear of the silk is on the compartment gussets). The lock, which still works is beautifully detailed and decorated brass and steel.The thimble holder contains a Simon Bros. Co. metal thimble which,of course, is not original. There is a large steel bodkin in one of the 7 slots. It has three compartments and its original silk covered pincushion forms one of the sides. The width is 4 1/2", the height is 3" and the depth is 2". Given its age and use I think it is in lovely condition. | |||||||
