Question
I have a little cardboard case covered in a velvet type fabric. Inside the little case is about 10 paper packets of bloods 1863 and Watsons sharps sewing needles. Do you know if this is worth anything?
Hello Stephanie. Needlebooks and needlepackets are collectible, but I'm not able to tell you if your case is worth anything without a picture. If you can send a digital picture to me at bacchino@twcny.rr.com, then I'll see if I can be of more help. Barb
