Make Do Hybrid: Antique Darning Egg with Clothes Pin Handle Scheurich vase creamy white hand-painted capital lettersA very sweet old thing, the likes of which I've never seen a make do darning egg I believe, with a clothes pin used for its handle. Looks to me like just one small iron nail with nice bleed around it securing the two parts together, but its as solid and sound as can be. 5 1 2" l x 2" x 1 1 2" and in good antique condition.
