Like a Wounded Heart, Much Worn Antique Tuscarora Beaded Strawberry Emery sandwich box It is a bit ironicThis strawberry shaped emery (like a small pin cushion but filled with emery powder for sharpening needles) appears once to have been entirely covered in red fabric, but all but a few tiny bright red bits around the top are gone, revealing the linen lining underneath.
