INFO ON THIS PARTICULAR LISTING.

I finally found a GREAT
IROQUOIS
MADE BEADED NEEDLE HOLDER for my ebay family. I see these often here in Maine, but I never get them because they’re usually in too rough of condition. I was so happy when I opened the box and found this one….this wonderful piece even has the original silk handle which I’ve rarely seen still attached. The handle is very worn and fragile, and barely holding, but it’s still there
😊
The tri-fold pin cushion’s beads are all still intact with very little wear. The Artisan used Clear Beads mixed with Multi-Color Beads which added vibrant pops of color.  The linen or oil cloth on the outside edges has a few areas of wear or loss, but you can see by the pictures that there is very little for a piece this old, and  the color of the fabric has remained bright, after all these years, wow!  The cushion inside is still nice and firm, has some little discolorations here/there but again, still very nice.  Please see all pictures to appreciate the design, detail and condition. I promise you will love it!

Please read very important!
All my items are from Maine; I will not be listing anything NEW. All items will be vintage and/or antique.  But, I promise that YOU will love anything you buy from me!  I’m very picky as to what I list and each piece will be in the best possible condition I could find.  However
, please note, I SOMETIMES list “lots” with “as found” items.  I hate to see the end of some really neat items, so I’ll list them in hopes that somebody can repurpose it/them somehow, someway
. Most of the items will be anywhere from 50 – 150 years old, so please expect normal aging, and anything other than normal wear from age I will point out.  My return policy is easy…. if I missed something please return it…I will gladly refund your purchase price and depending on why you’re returning it, half (to all) of the return shipping costs.  It’s really important to me that you have a great experience with buying an item from me,
if you’re not happy, please let me try to work it out before you give negative feedback.
My goal is that you become a HAPPY  buyer as I am sure that I will be listing something you’ll want again
