Floral Wire


Library - 1386

Found on a recent trip to Chester in a Vintage clothes shop.
"LET THE COIL REMAIN ON CARD,DRAW WIRE THROUGH HOLE AT BACK - CAN USE THE LAST STRAND WITHOUT TANGLE"
It cost ONE old pence
I have never seen one of these before and payed 400 new pences for it.
Quite a price gain.
Another in my collection, ways to sell and market bent wire.

The wire on the back of the card not only holds the roll of wire onto the front it also is twisted into a central loop which strengthens the dispensing hole in the middle.

A tiny HAND MADE padlock Michael gave me for Xmas.
Less than an inch square.
No key, but open.

All those rivets remind me of the first experiments I did in metal work at Alsager.
