Vintage magnetic dipping needle tool. Unknown age, but assumed to be from 1920s or 1930s. Found at C&W Auto in Sturgeon Bay. Dipping needle came in original box, but box is in poor condition. Actual dipping needle tool is in good overall shape and appears to still work, with minor signs of use, wear, and storage.Cataloged By
