    This stands 3 1/4" tall. Opens and has an opening at each end which measures 1 1/4" across and is maybe 1" deep. What is this?

    A few people on another board say it is for sewing needles. Too wide for that many needles? I can't see that.

    A needle case is an etui and it does look large for that and it wouldn't open at both ends. Curiousity.
