DescriptionThis pin cushion is oval shaped. The outer "shell" is a light tan color and is constructed of a pioneering synthetic plastic known as celluloid. The center of the pin cushion is also oval shaped and has a velvet surface featuring a sepia color. The underside of the plastic portion lies flat, although what appears to be a connector is visible on one side.
