This product is a 3-1/2" antique metal shoe pin cushion with tarnish, dating back to before 1930 and originating from the United States. It is an original piece made in the pre-1930 era, with the maker being unmarked. Perfect for collectors of antique sewing items, this shoe pin cushion adds a touch of vintage charm to any collection with its unique design and historical significance.
Pin cushions were essential in the late 19th and early 20th century because we did not have zippers or many of the modern sewing notions that were available after 1930's. The "cushion" was added by the buyer and was often stuffed with sawdust or sand.
