This is an awesome VTG item! This is a VTG original “Sew Smart” rust proof needle book. It reads on the front- Nickel plated 21 assorted silver eye needles and threader. I consider it new but old ,from the looks of everything it has never been used in my opinion. It is packed in the original plastic sleeve with a punched hole that I assume they put there in case they wanted to hang it on a peg. What is neat,is that it still has price tag on it.It has wonderful created VTG artwork same on both sides. All needles and threader are attached with a piece of parchment paper covering the bottoms of the larger needles. On the outside it reads Japan on the corner at bottom. It reads Crown Horse ,Finest Quality,Rustproof on inside. It has Crown Horse logo on outside. The only thing else it has is staple holes toward top were I assume it was stapled shut. This is a charming and cool VTG collectible!
