Packet of "Rose" brand hand sewing needles, No. 3

Object/Artifact

A small packet of hand sewing needles in its original packaging. The package is a slim rectangular black paper/card sleeve or folded wrapper, with a red printed paper label adhered to the front. The label carries, from top to bottom: a circular device enclosing a stylized white rose, the brand name "Rose" in white cursive script, the product description "HAND SEWING NEEDLES / NO. 3" in white capitals, a line of Chinese characters, and the English statement "MADE IN CHINA." The black wrapper is creased and worn, with a folded/tucked lower portion forming a closure or pocket. The packet appears to still contain its needles (contents not separately visible/verified). "No. 3" denotes the needle size within the brand's range.
