Antique Brass stand to hold sewing items. No cracks, or damage whatsoever.  Measures approx. 3 inches tall.  Base is a horse shoe, holder is hand chased in what looks like a human figure. The front 'loop' was to hold scissors so I'm told and the interior held other sewing items.  Has great patina and is over 95 years old.  The horse shoe stood for good luck in the victorian era.  Any information is welcome.  This came from an old estate in southwest Michigan many years ago that had a number of antique sewing items for sale.  This one captured my interest.  Free shipping anywhere in the United States of America includes delivery confirmation and insurance.  Outside the U.S.A. e-mail for rates.
