This turned-wood needle tube comes from The Boye Needle Co. of Chicago, a long-running maker of sewing needles and notions. Tubes like this, with a push-in cap, once kept machine needles together in the sewing-room drawer. Today they are charming finds for collectors of vintage sewing and advertising pieces, and they look sweet tucked into a sewing-box or shadow-box display.

Details

The tube carries the Boye Needle Co., Chicago, Ill. printing and a patent date reading Jan.
12, 1909 on the side and cap end, with "10" on the cap.
It is a turned wood tube with a push-in cap and includes three steel needles.

The photos are part of the description, and it will be packed with care.
