Vintage Folk Art Sewing Box Full of Notions

This vintage sewing kit is a true collector’s delight and practical treasure chest all in one. The kit is housed in a gorgeous hand-painted green wooden box with floral details on the cover, a vessel that holds all this history and tells a story from first glance to the last thread.

Inside is a Belding-Corticelli box that holds 15 spools — 14 labeled Belding-Hemingway and one Belding-Corticelli. In total, the kit contains over 50 vintage thread spools, some silk spools as well. The Belding box originally had a small loop inside the top cover to hold scissors, which could be restored by its new curator for perfect organization.

The kit also includes notions such as 3 pairs of scissors (some with a little squeak), a wooden darning mushroom with handle, a retractable tape measure marked Scaffold Services Inc., assorted buttons, needles, snaps, hooks, eyes & loops, 4 thimbles (one a vintage Prudential Life Insurance promotional piece), 3 filled plastic storage containers, a zipper rescue kit, patches, hem facing, mending tape, and a pocket repair kit. There’s even a random starfish tucked inside, adding a little whimsical surprise. Photos are a sample of what you will receive.

Every piece is vintage and full of character — perfect for collectors, sewing enthusiasts, or anyone who loves historic home sewing artifacts.
