Description: | The protectors have different forms: one has the form of a ring, others wrap around a finger and others are discs of thick leather. The knife was made in Sheffield and has the name of 'Badams, Walsall' stamped on it. Two of the three straps are finished, being stitched and punched with buckles, whilst the other one is prepared for stitching. The needles are wrapped in paper. The awls were used by the donor's mother in a factory in Cecil Street, The Butts, prior to her marriage in 1879/1880.
