John Campbell Co. Camel Dyes for Cotton, Antique 86 Color Samples on Thread brass inlay 5 7/16" x 3 1/2"

5 7/16" x 3 1/2" and in overall good condition

and believe it dates from the 1960's

and I'd guess some fading to the gray paint

but what a wonderfully stretched daschund--a hot dog of a dog if I ever saw one
