Description
An antique Victorian Sewing bird that was used as ladies sewed their fineries. The corduroy buttons were used as pin cushions. The beak of the bird doubled as a clip to hold fabric or trims. The c-clamp was used to hold the bird on a table. This bird made of metal with a golden color. Talk about a conversation piece! Most people have never even seen one yet alone know what it was used for. An excellent opportunity to own a piece of Victorian history.
