Even though they were common, Very few people know what these gadgets were used for

Imagine this scenario. You’re searching through a junk drawer at your home and you come across something that you have no idea what it was used for. If you were living with your parents at the time, you may have even asked them what you were now holding.

We tend to grow accustomed to the things that are being used in our generation. As the decades continue to go by, however, those items may get used less frequently.

So what is it? Is it an old coin and if it is, what was the metal pin used for? I really was curious enough when I found one to ask.

That is when my mother decided she was actually going to use the item and she did so in front of me. She grabbed a needle and thread and used it to thread the needle. It made it so easy, I am not sure why they don’t use them any longer. Then again, does anybody really sew anymore?

Google has more to say about these needle threaders. They were used as early as the Victorian era and some of those it had the Queen’s head on the round part you hold onto. They came to the United States in the early 1900s but some people stopped using them in favor of using sewing machines.

Some of the newer sewing machines even come with LED lights so you can see what you’re doing and it makes it so much easier. That being said, you can still use this needle threader if you are in a pinch. Here’s how:
