New Acquisition - Columbia Needle Display

Post by Curt A »

I just got this from EarlH on the Forum... I have been wanting one since I saw another in person at a friend's house. Until I get around to making enough dummy needle packs to fill it, it works great for Keurig coffee pods... Is that a bad idea?

If you get something like this you could sort of strengthen the theme and make it more acceptable maybe.

That would be a great mug... if they hadn't used a Crap-O-Phone as a model... and the Keurig thing is only temporary...

That's a neat piece. Is it bakelite or something else?

It's made out of sheet metal.

Very nice, if it were mine, I would get some dummy needle packs made and then display it.
