ANTIQUE #SA1137213

Rare American Sterling Silver Ball Pincushion Sewing Needlework Henckel Ny 1910

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: The Silver Squirrel

A rare good sized solid sterling novelty ball pin cushion. It is hallmarked with American STERLING silver marks and the makers mark of George A Henckel of New York who operate from 1909 until c1950. I would date this piece to c1910. It has been beautifully pierced with the inside being a wooden ball with original purple velvet cover, note the cover is faded and a little worn but can be replaced as the loop section unscrews allowing you to access the internal fabric. It is in super condition being free from dings splits and repairs just a faint push to the top of the loop holder. The ball measures approx. 2 inches across with the loop extending 0.75 inches. The whole piece including the internal parts weighs 65 grams. A very rare example.
