<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 2718820, member: 50&quot;]Somewhere around here I have a butterscotch bakelite egg I got at a yard sale. If I remember correctly it&#039;s the size of a rather small chicken egg (approx). Mine is a slightly different color on half and at one time I found an example of a bakelite egg in a bakelite eggcup so I&#039;m thinking that&#039;s what mine is, missing the eggcup.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would help to know what yours is made of.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen them called darning eggs and with the long scratches on yours I&#039;m wondering if that&#039;s what yours has been used for. Here is an example of one that I&#039;ve saved that they are guessing might have been a darning egg. Not the color of yours but it is the color of mine.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/285669401/bakelite-darning-egg-sewing-accessory?show_sold_out_detail=1&amp;ref=nla_listing_details" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/285669401/bakelite-darning-egg-sewing-accessory?show_sold_out_detail=1&amp;ref=nla_listing_details" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/285669401/bakelite-darning-egg-sewing-accessory?show_sold_out_detail=1&amp;ref=nla_listing_details</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]275893[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
