Collectibles-General (Antiques)/Old needle case

Question
I found an old needle case, booklet style, with advertising for a life ins. company, made in czechoslovakia. It has "The Home Needle Case" on front with picture of a girl. Does it have any value?

Answer
Hello Phyllis.  Yes, your needlebook may have some value, but condition is everything.  Your booklet needs to be complete inside and undamaged outside.  You will often find these needlebooks on ebay.  If you search and watch what they are selling for, it will give you a good idea of what yours may be worth.  I can't give you any type of value without seeing it.  Barb
