Sewing collectables and this is as rare as they come. Threader with balloon
Incredibly rare antique French sewing needle threader tool dating circa 1790 depicting a hot air balloon following the first untethered manned hot air balloon flight in the world performed in Paris, France, by Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and François Laurent d'Arlandes on November 21, 1783, in a balloon created by the Montgolfier brothers. Made in France marked to the side in pinchbeck, an alloy of metal made to resemble real gold. In great condition please see the pictures, a wonderful addition to any collection.
