The ladies used to do a lot of needlework and then had a basket full of all kinds of things to do this. This is also the case with this measuring tape, which is incorporated in a celluloid basket with flowers. The ribbon no longer rolls up smoothly.
On top of this worn vintage round blue/green pin cushion, an animal is attached and a flower for decoration. Furthermore, a centimeter has been "built in" into the pin cushion. The centimeter can still be pulled out (36 cm) but does not roll up completely anymore, see photo
