Chicken Rooster on Spool Pin Cushion Ex Booth #7
Price: 125 including shipping and insurance
Sold by Albion Valley Folk Art and Antiques
For sale is one of 7 vintage folk art chicken/rooster on spool pin cushions that were formerly in the collection of Alice and Art Booth of New Jersey. This one is made of a sort of rust brown fabric with crocheted and embroidered details, and its tail is made of a nice early red calico. I believe it is filled with bits of thread. The piece measures about 4 1/2" tall, 3 1/4" long beak to tail, and 1 1/2" wide. The spool is about 1 1/4" in diameter. The pin cushion is in vintage/antique condition, with some minor wear, primarily on the embroidered wings, dirt and light stains, but no really significant flaws. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions or for additional photos.
