59bisquik Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 My uncle came across this cool goodie at a yard sale. With it being Dodge Brothers Motorcars, I am assuming it’s pretty old. Anybody seen an old sewing kit like this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linus6948 Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Looks like a gift from the dealership, very cool item. I believe they were a private entity until 1928 http://dodgemotorcar.com/history/riseandfall.php Edited May 5, 2018 by linus6948 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Elder Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I'm guessing a woman took the matches/flint/ tinder??? that came with it and put her stuff in it.....I see it as more of a emergency stay dry capsule than a sewing kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobT-47P15 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 It seems to have a needle and thread that you found with it........so I suppose I would call it a travel emergency sewing kit until finding out otherwise. Cool old item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59bisquik Posted May 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I have had no luck fi doing the Culley Motors that it came from. So far, no info about the item besides speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
