The ladies used to do a lot of needlework and then had a basket full of all kinds of things to do this. This is also the case with this measuring tape, which is incorporated in a celluloid basket with flowers. The ribbon no longer rolls up smoothly.
When the ladies used to travel, this leather box went with them. It was also called Ladies Companian. The antique box is covered with black leather and beautifully decorated.
