Ladies sewing were more the solid box type. It would be interesting to find out specific information about it though.Mandy Curriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17909834568522726579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389379510958307370.post-42205252599289485792014-04-25T14:36:52.427-07:002014-04-25T14:36:52.427-07:00It's a mystery to me, but how fabulous!It's a mystery to me, but how fabulous!Suztatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703965965474209546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389379510958307370.post-3275283924765089022014-04-25T06:41:34.543-07:002014-04-25T06:41:34.543-07:00What a great find!

Have you had it for a while? I found some information for you, but I can't vouch for it's reliability. (-; Here is an article about the buttons. They think they date to around 1905-6. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/GENANZ/2003-11/1068466334<br />According to this article (http://www.gsia.org.uk/reprints/2005/gi200504.pdf) the Kirby Beard Co. existed before 1853 and the name survived into mid 1900s. That's all I could find - there was no sewing kit online (that I could find) that compares to it in style or quality.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04325568385706817499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389379510958307370.post-12330915447061924052014-04-24T22:57:46.657-07:002014-04-24T22:57:46.657-07:00sorry can`t help but I do admire it, very nice an...sorry can`t help but I do admire it, very nice and the leather still looks perfect. very unusual buttons, hope you can find more info , age etcmargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225676137708827434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389379510958307370.post-41271572674149398782014-04-24T08:33:10.902-07:002014-04-24T08:33:10.902-07:00That is really neat.
