Probably for some itty-bitty little scissors. Maybe like for the 2 1/2" scissors as seen at https://adirondackgirlatheart.com/wp...1-800x1200.jpg from the page https://adirondackgirlatheart.com/co...tage-scissors/

I thinnk you're right. Alas, no scissors were in the case. I'll still find a use for it though.
Here's the thread. The Mettzlers are in the spool caddy, which has 46 compartments - 4 spools per compartment except for the 3 larger spools which take up a compartment themselves. The rest of it is in the tote still. Awaiting more spool caddies to arrive. And then the chore of more sorting. lol

Ebay item # 183964160108 Says it is for hand sewing. Looks like this is an older version of N.B.T. Waxed Silamide Skeins. 675 yds per skein. Tex 23. A soft thread made with wax and a little silicone used to replace silk thread for hand sewing. Fun to do sleuthing like this.

It was a double sided single sheet that folded up. I think I only used it a couple of times, many years ago. i really wouldn't want to use a regular zipper foot for an invisible zipper. Something that should be noted is that you install the zipper before seaming below the zipper. I also forgot that one side of the instructions is for polyester teeth and the other for metal teeth, although they look the same.
There is also a Coats & Clark invisible zipper foot.

Going by the pdf that can be found at https://www.amefird.com/wp-content/u...art-2-4-10.pdf It looks like it Tex 23 is a really fine thread, so probably what the itsy-bitsy needles are for
