Kirby’s Egg Eyed Sharps
Rooting around in the old sewing box, the way you do on a Sunday morning, I came across this old packet of needles.
The closed packet measures 50mm x 25mm. Hard to tell exactly what the logo is on the outside. Looks like an elephant falling into a pond.
Bit clearer on the inside - an elephant's head in a crown.
They certainly took some trouble packaging their products in those far off olden days.
Two layers of thick paper, a strip of cloth, plus another strip of fine linen under the label to hold the needles.
