VERY R<br>are antique carved wood Mauchline Ware lithograph advertising darning egg case measuring about 3" in size. Designed as a needle dispenser, egg is decorated with advertising in Spanish - one side depicts a detailed image of the ship (SANTA MARIA) and CALIDAD 87656 (Quality) on the egg top edge.<br>I believe this was designed to commemorate the landing of the Santa Maria - it is stamped MADE IN GERMANY on the bottom edge - when egg is opened and bottom and the egg end is compressed, the needle dispenser pops up as shown - it is incrementally numbered with instructions to "Place the stroke parallel with the number required". Complete with patent number on the inside arm end!<br>Best condition I've seen, I doubt you will find another in this nice of shape.  Pictures show true condition and I did the best I could to get every angle.<br>These are very rare especially in this condition.  Nothing broken, no cracks, no hairline, no repairs, 100% original.  This has sat for 60+ years in a cedar chest until I took it out recently, so humidity/kids haven't gotten to ruin this survivor.<br>Look around and look hard, you aren't going to find another of these in this good of shape, I have been searching for over a week and it's hard to find much at all about these, made in 1893 it is 128 years old.  If I wasn't buying a house I wouldn't be selling this awesome piece.<br>This will be well packaged, insured for the total price, and signature required at delivery by an adult to ensure you get this super nice find.<br>I will ship next business day of payment being made via Fedex ground, faster shipping is available for an additional charge.  I can also ship to a PO Box via USPS just contact me and I will make changes, I just prefer Fedex for pricey stuff.<br>Feel free to have a gander at my other wares I sell all sorts of stuff and also I have 100% positive feedback as a seller. I can also take credit card payments over the phone and would give a discount if you prefer to pay that way as my rates are cheaper for credit card acceptance that way than through ebay's payment system.<br>Pickup in person is very welcomed but in that case I will not accept online payments, cash only if you are picking up in person.<br>Any questions please ask before buying.<br>Thanks for looking!
