AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot, visible in the photo, consists of a set of haberdashery tools and accessories, typical for sewing and clothing repair. The open box reveals a wide variety of items for attaching, fastening, or customizing buttons and snaps, with a retro and vintage feel. Several compartments and sachets contain snap fasteners, eyelets, rivets, as well as specialized tools for their application. The diversity of shapes and colors, with a predominance of metallic silver, gold, brown, and red tones, evokes haberdashery supplies from past decades.

The set notably includes cards and sachets of snap fasteners of different sizes, tools with red and white handles for applying snaps, as well as various visible accessories (washers, small metal parts, plastic and cardboard elements). Printed instructions in English are affixed inside the lid, suggesting the international origin of some items in the lot. Original packaging labels, as well as period packaging elements, are also visible, testifying to the antique and eclectic nature of the set.

Some accessories are still in their original transparent sachets, while others are loosely arranged or stored in separate compartments. The presence of several setting tools (notably a multi-function tool with a red and white handle, probably intended for piercing or crimping), bobbins and rolls, as well as small metal parts, confirms the utilitarian purpose of this lot for artisanal sewing or textile repair.

Illustrated cards showing assembly steps, as well as colorful packaging elements, are also observed, reinforcing the vintage and retro aspect of the selection. The box itself, decorated in black and white, completes this set of antique haberdashery accessories, ideal for creating or restoring clothing with traditional techniques.

Did you know? Snap fasteners were patented in the late 19th century and became, from the early 20th century, an essential haberdashery accessory, facilitating quick garment closure without visible stitching. Their popularity accompanied the rise of ready-to-wear and workwear, where robustness and practicality were essential.
