Well Worn Antique Treen Stickware Darning Egg finely crafted with wavy lines in alternatingI have a hard time not grabbing these old treen darning eggs when I find them; I think they're just so pretty and super satisfying to carry around. This one has clearly seen a lot of use over the past 100+ years, which makes me like it all the more. Approx 3" l x 2" widest. Lots of scrapes and small dings all over, and a couple of deeper gouges on one area of one side.
