newsletter@tias.com.

Here's an interesting item from one of our readers in South Australia.  Anyone
have any more info on this piece?

"After looking through your web pages, I am emailing with a photo for help in
identifying the item.  I think it is some sort of leather wrist strap to be
used when hand-sewing thick, hard, heavy material (such as leather or canvas?)
and have had it for many years since clearing out my grandparents' belongings.

The lighter colour part is of a very hard material, with a small, circular
raised section that looks as if a needle should be pushed against it to allow
the user/the person sewing, to give extra push to get the needle through the
material.

Thank for your your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards

Sue
Sellicks Beach, South Australia"
