Vintage Boxed Knitting Toy

This is an oldie but a goodie!
I just love the graphics on the lid and
the sides of the box.


And below - inside the box as found.
This set is from around 1910's - 1920's.


For lots more to do with spool knitters see

Thanks Elizabeth! I do consider myself very lucky indeed to have this set......being from Australia, we rarely if ever have anything like this, but thanks to the internet, my collection is growing!

There's a 1909 spool knitting book on Project Gutenberg.

Hi Shay! thankyou for your comment!
I do know about that link and other links to the spool knitting book - I actually have the book myself. Do you collect spool knitters?
