Description
Civil War "Housewife" Sewing Kit, Cpl. Gilpin, Quality Hand Constructed Reproduction + USSC Poke/Ration BagThis not the typical Kit you see for sale. This represents the finest museum quality reproduction available today. Patterned after originals with special attention to details and fabric selection. I used calico print fabrics designed and reproduced by Barbara Brackman and Judie Rothermel who copy originals. So these are period CW designs and colors.
This Kit is copied from an original belonging to Corporal Levi Gilpin of the 51st Ohio Vol. Inf., Company E. It measures 3-1/2" wide by 13-3/4" in length. It has 4 pockets, a built in pincushion, & two layers wool to hold pins & needles. It is bound with black polished cotton. Closes with cotton twill tape. Also included in this auction is a bonus "poke" bag, to put your kit in or anything else like modern prescriptions, etc.. All visible stitching is done by hand. See pics for additional information as they are part of the description.
Contents include:
- Original Bone & MOP Buttons
- Cotton Thread
- Folding Scissors
- Brass Safety Pin
- Straight Pins & Needles
- Patch material
Bonus Bag: Copied from original USSC stamped bag belonging to John Buffington. Made from "tea-dyed" muslin and is closed with cotton twill taping. Visable stitching by hand. ( value)
