Antique Nuess Brothers, Germany 100 Black Glass Head Pin Cube decorative framing what one imagines isAnother glass toilet pin cube, because these are such beautifully designed objects, this one produced by Neuss Brothers to house 100 black glass headed pins. There is a bit of variation in the size of the pin heads here but the cube, apart from the bottom side, is entirely filled, making it especially excellent looking. 2 1 8"" cubed and in very good condition.
