I adore antique sewing notions and have bought and sold many needle cases, but this is the best one I have seen. It is named "The Eclipse Handy Package" made by Brabant and patented August 13th 1895. Has many, but not all, of its components intact. Gorgeous and whimsical Victorian graphics.
It was a pleasure meeting you @ the Flea this weekend. You have amazing items! I love these needle cases. I have a tiny antique needle case in my Etsy shop, too. I have made a pendant out of it… http://www.etsy.com/listing/65682193/locket-antique-sewing-needles
