Georgian Ivory 'Rolling Pin' Needle Case c.1800

This is a Georgian Ivory needle case, almost certainly English in origin, & dating to around c.1800.

The cylindrical case is reminiscent of a rolling pin in form, & has an extremely fine, turned decoration to the body & 'acorn' finials.

The case unscrews around two thirds of the way up, to reveal the compartment for storing needles.

Condition is Fine, with no damage & a good screw thread.

The case measures approx 3 1/4" or 8.3cm in length.
