DEER / FAWN PINCUSHION & THIMBLE HOLDER, Vintage Souvenir Sewing Item, Wood Base

Description

Vintage souvenir and SEWING ITEM -- DEER / FAWN PIN CUSHION & THIMBLE HOLDER -- was likely produced in the middle part of the 1900s -- possibly the 1950s. This piece features a plastic fawn sitting on a wooden base, with the words: BEAR MT., NY etched into the wood. The piece measures approximately 5.25 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 2.25 inches tall. There is a pin cushion attached to the base, plus a shaped cork which is designed to hold a thimble. The sewing piece comes with a vintage plastic thimble. It is all original, as far as I can see. Please refer to the attached images for more information on size, construction, and condition. Overall condition: Solid VG+..... The fabric/pincushion part has some general surface wear, soiling and fading, but otherwise, this cute item is in pretty nice shape. There are no serious flaws, and it will display very well. ***************************************** PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT an expert on vintage sewing items. My mom -- Nancy Moran -- was a longtime collector and she especially loved sewing memorabilia and antique buttons. She is downsizing, so my brother and I am helping her sell some of her collections. (You can find the items my brother is listing at sellmomsstuff1). But I am not completely familiar with all the terminology and intricacies of her collecting specialties. I try to use various notes she left with items to describe them to the best of my ability, but understand that any terms I use in describing these items, may not be terms I am familiar or experience with. So please use the attached images to form your own opinions. I am also not knowledgeable on the hobby criteria in condition grading -- so I use my condition grades in a commonsense manner -- as if grading any collectible -- they are not based on any specific hobby standards. Please contact me if you have specific questions, and I will answer them as best I can. PLEASE SEE OUR OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE WONDERFUL VINTAGE SEWING ITEMS, ANTIQUE BUTTONS, AND OTHER COLLECTIBLES.
