Mid-Century European Metal Sewing & Shaving Kit

Updated August 27, 2026

Appearing to date to the mid-20th century, this German or German leaning market personal sewing and shaving assortment is housed in a dark olive-painted rectangular metal tin. Contents include an embossed "Indische Blumenseife" soap bar, a shaving brush with light-colored handle, a brass thimble, Prym No. 6 nickel-plated sewing needles, black and white thread on a wooden spool, small metal and cylindrical containers, and several SKF Kugellager-branded paper packets. No military acceptance or issue markings are visible, and the contents are offered as an assembled period grouping. The tin exhibits scattered scratches, finish wear, minor oxidation, and normal edge rubbing. Interior items show paper toning, creases, surface soiling, wear to the soap, discoloration and use to the brush bristles, and general handling wear consistent with age. Measurements are 4-1/4 in. L x 3 in. W x 1-1/2 in. H. Contents are intended for collectible and display purposes only. A compact personal-effects set with appealing period graphics and strong display potential for collections of German sewing, grooming, travel, or domestic accessories.
