OLD VICTORIAN SEWING BIRD CLAMP HELPER PIN CUSHION BRASS PATENTED 1853
Here is an old original Victorian brass sewing bird clamp or helper and pin cushion. These were clamped onto the table and used as a third hand while sewing. Mending, etc. This one has a great heart shape cut out in the thumbscrew. Marked on the bird's wings nearest the body is"PATENTED- FEB. 15 1853. Everything works well, spring is still good and tough. The only issue I see is there would have been a larger pin cushion just below the bird's chest that is gone. A threaded hole remains. Other than that it is excellent. There is a good write up about these on a site called realorrepro. It shows the differences between the real ones like mine compared to the two main repros out there. It measures approx.4 inches long, and 2 inches across the widest part of the wings. It stands 3 1/2 inches tall not counting the thumbscrew.

Antique Ornate Victorian Brass Sewing Bird Clamp Pin Cusion Dated 1853 Working!
Featured here for your bidding consideration is this very ornate antique brass Victorian sewing bird tool. Often referred to as a sewer's"third hand. This nifty item could be clamped on the edge of a work table at the ready for the industrious home sewer. It would have held two pin cushions for easy accessibility of pins, AND the bird acts as a spring loaded clamp to hold the sewing project in place in its beak. How handy! Fortunately, this bird is in good working order, and the clamp will hold tightly to any fabric. However, the two pin cushions are missing. Often times these are worn away, as is the case with the small cushion that fits onto the bird's back. A secondary, slightly larger cushion would have screwed onto the top of the clamp below the bird's neck. The right wing of the bird is embossed with PATENTED, and the ... moreleft wing with FEB 15 1853, making this a really old time goody! I love the little floral details on the wonderful clamp! I currently have listed several other antique sewing items that you may wish to view in separate auctions. Please take a look if you have the interest. Keeping in mind that I would be happy to combine shipping whenever practical! International Buyers-Please Note: Import duties. Taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
