Antique Boye needle, shuttle, and bobbin store display case and dispenser, found in hardware stores during the beginning of the 20th century. This large round metal case was used to dispense the correct size needle, shuttle, and spool bobbin for 195 different brands of sewing machines. The dispenser held needles and shuttles in wooden tubes, and bobbins in metal holders. The chart around the edge of the case gave the correct shuttle tube and bobbin numbers and needle tube numbers for each of the 195 machines. When the dial arrow was pointed to a specific tube or bobbin number, the sliding door would open to the location of that particular tube or bobbin.
