Information about Terry Meinke's 2025 travels to Europe in search of information about Avery needle cases was mentioned in this Dorset Thimble Society newsletter.
A special thank you goes to Chris Brett for adding this to the newsletter.
To date 227 Avery style needle cases have been discovered. Visit these pages to see photographs of each design as well as the original design registration or patent and gain knowledge about variations within each design.
In 2013 an Avery Survey was created in order to gather as much information as possible about Avery style needle cases from collectors and interested parties around the world. The Avery Survey is easy to complete and gives you a chance to contribute to this important research. Be sure and stop here to see the survey results.
Learn how the author turned a hobby cross stitching antique sampler reproductions into a passion for collecting Avery needle cases resulting in a published book, a Wikipedia article, a TCI Bulletin article and conference presentation and this website.
