showing a few small scratches/cracks in the wood

also horsehair I think and probably 1940s or so

The case reminds me of a bit of a submarine

I believe it dates to the first half of the 20th century

And then a hole at the center of the lid for pulling through the string that it would have held inside

Crane Shaped Embroidery Scissors and Punch Tool in Wooden Box unusual showing a few small scratches/cracksA charming and useful set of tools to add to the sewing kit! I believe these vintage crane or stork shaped shears and punch tool were specifically designed for embroidery, though certainly would be useful for all sorts of detail oriented tasks. Plus, they are great looking, and fit neatly into their own little wooden box. I believe they are made of cast brass. Scissors measure 6 1 4" long x 2 1 2" wide x 3 16" deep. Punch measures 6 1 2" long x 1 3 4"
