This is a very interesting Tiffany monogrammed sterling case used for sewing according to the present owner. It belonged to her mother and bears the Tiffany & Co. hallmark for the time period with the L mark. It could hold needles, a thimble and the very small spools of thread as well. It measures 2" in height and 3/4" in diameter at the top and 1" at the bottom. The top has two circles of dots as a pattern as well as a small dent which appears black in the photos, probably from being dropped at some point. The interior of the cap shows this pattern as well and can be slightly felt as well. Though this woman's mother used it as a sewing case, perhaps it was meant for a different use as well, pills perhaps or lenses instead of glasses? I have no idea other than her mother used it as a sewing case when they traveled. The case weighs 21.7 grams on my jewelry scale. It would make a nice addition to a vintage sewing collection as that is what I was told it was used for, though a new owner certainly has many options for its use. Actually, it looks like a perfect shape for carrying Tums in your purse!

Our Service Pledge
I respond to all orders within 24 hours and guarantee the authenticity of all items I carry. There are NEVER any reproductions! I ship items several times during the week. Please let me know if you have an urgent shipping time requirement. I will make every effort to ship your item to arrive in the time you specify. If I are not able to do so, I will notify you within 24 hours of receipt of the purchase order. The cost of shipping plus Insurance will be added to your purchase total. Insurance is mandatory on items over $100, and all items will be shipped with insurance unless you decline it. There is never a handling charge. I package items the way I would want to receive them and use bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts as needed. Jewelry comes in a gift box as well. Please do not attempt to return an item due to shipping damage. Should it occur in spite of my careful packaging, this must be handled through the shipping agent with an insurance claim. I will be happy to assist in this. Always be sure to retain all original packaging if a claim is to be made as the shipping agent will request to examine it. Purchase more than one item at one time and I will ship them together (if possible) to save you money on shipping.Payments we accept:
