Victorian Silk and Burr Oak Acorn Emery Pin Cushion mountain landscaoe with light wear to theSuch an array of marvelous antique emeries and pin cushions out there! I've seen some making use of walnut shells, but this is the first I've seem make of a Burr Oak acorn, which I love for its delicate spiky texture, almost like a durian fruit. And, if you look at it from the bottom of the acorn end, it looks like it has a little face, with the stem making a nose! And, with some green ribbon around the middle, it looks a bit like a strawberry too.
