Got this last year at a local flea market. There was a basket full of sewing stuff....for some reason I dug thru the basket & found this. Didn't realize at first what it was! I just knew I had seen it somewhere. Opened it up & saw the H&S logo & then remembered seeing it in Tim's book! She had $15 marked on it & when I brought it to the seller she said, Oh! I've had that forever, you can have it for $5 dollars!!Didn't take me long to get my $5 dollar's out!!!
It's about 4" across & is for needles.

See! They're still out there!!

Wow - that's a great H&S needle box! (I won't tell you what I had to pay for mine! :oops: )

By the way, was that really "Tim's book," or was someone else involved too? ;)

Congratulations!

Well, after several days of thoroughly enjoying this entertaining thread, I decided to jump in and share a few smalls of my own. Thanks to everyone for sharing their treasures!

I am not a dedicated collector of such items, but I do have an affinity for items related to the Edison Diamond Disc Phonographs, particularly the Chippendale C 250/C 19. ;)

Found a couple interesting things in a box of stuff. First is instructions on how to use the Columbia fiber needles, then a tiny bottle of Eclipse needles that are apparently permanent, according to the accompanying instruction sheet.

Jerry,
I think on the last one I saw they said it was in advertising record for the Diamond Disc?
